Larry, thanks. Should be interesting to see if the press picks up on it, although I doubt it since the recent C-Span hearings entirely on Y2K got very little press. In the part I heard today, Greenspan said something to the effect he's never in his career seen a healthier economy and we've got a surplus for the first time in (I think) 30 years-- which is what will (and probably should) be reported.

Here's what Paul E. Thomas wrote about the Y2K stuff at the end:
Message 4803489

In talking about Y2K awareness I liken it to when a friend of mine who worked for the electric company told me all about substations and those electrical boxes on telephone poles. I had never noticed them before, yet, when I looked, indeed they were everywhere-- just like Y2K stories. Yet, unless there were a national story about one falling on someone's head and killing them, I doubt I would have taken a second to look up and notice them on my own. The analogy being, like I've come to the realization, unless something happens that forces people to read about Y2K on their own, they'll just skip over that stuff in the papers like they do the other 80%.

- Jeff

P.S. Little know ALYD fact: fully 30% of ALYD shareholders are named "Larry"!
