Skeeter Bug, Do you have any idea how ignorant you are coming across? Surely you must embarrass yourself as you type this incorrect, mindless drivel. Are you just reading the tabloid headlines at the supermarket? Y2K problems will NOT disappear in January, 2000. There will be a backlog of companies and individuals needing fixes for years to come. Do you really believe that every motherboard, every chip, every microcode, every OS, every program in the world will be fixed in the next 18 months? But let's say that that really happens. All of the world's computer users upgrade all of their hardware and software in the next 18 months. That means that most of the IT expeditures for companies and individuals for this period will have been tied up dealing with Y2K. When that is behind us, then general expeditures for normal upgrades and new programs will resume unleashing a huge world-wide buying spree. Either scenario will mean money in the bank for IBM (and others). Thoughts? --Rob
