Jeff, that's powerful stuff. I have been laughed at, criticized and sometimes questioned my on judgement, when I tell people about how serious this problem is.

I've suggested it to board members at trade groups that I belong to that we have work shops on Y2K awareness. Each time, I get answers like "Robert, when you wake up Jan 1, 2000 the problem will have come and gone and we will never know it existed", or something like "Don't you think Bill Gates is working on this?" I tell them that all of the Fortune 500 companys combined have a lot more then Gates or Microsoft, and most of the computers in question are written in languages that Microsoft don't understand and if they did, there isn't but so many programmers out there. So what if Gates gets them all there is still a large shortage of programmers.

Well, I don't have to tell you, but I'm amazed at how many people are just waiting on a "silver bullet".

I hate it for the rest of the world, but I'm darn glad that we have invested in a company like Alydaar Software.

Maybe some of the businesses, who's owners laughed at the subject will be for sell "cheap", when the clock rolls to the year 2000 and we can that some Alydaar profits and see who the last laugh is on.

Thanks for the constant flow of good information you bring to this board.

Robert
