Not enough time to be confident in a Y2K solution?

That's probably true. But it doesn't change the reality of the need for a solution.

Do you think that everyone has it handled already? Yesterday in the Boston Globe there was an article about BankBoston and the 'year 2000 computer bug' as they called it. In the article they mentioned that according to Gartner Group, a consulting firm based in Stamford,Conn., THAT 30% OF AMERICAN COMPANIES HAD NOT STARTED WORKING ON THE PROBLEM YET! And what about when 2000 rolls around and the 'bug' rears it's ugly head? That can't hurt sales. PSFT isn't a Y2K company anyway, that's just gravy. People have been selling tons of application software for years without needing Y2K to spur sales. Then there's the EMU conversion, in fact everything Rick already said, especially about the staff, I know people who work there and all I ever hear is what a great company it is, great people, great products and on and on..

You sound like you're trying so hard to convince yourself, I know, you've got your balanced portfolio approach, but it just seems that there must be so many better shorts to balance it with! You must be sick of all the 'concern' you get from us PSFT lovers, kind of like your mother telling you to stop playing in the street, it's so much fun dodging the cars... well PSFT is a freight train, SO WATCH OUT!!!

Seriously though, I would really like to thank you for your posts. They always inspire someone to rave about what a great company PSFT is!
