Michelle, re

The second part of your statement is true, but nonetheless its way to late for a y2k push for mfg enterprise software, and everyone knows it. We saw the y2k effect in mfg last year actually - there is a planning function that stretches out 18 mos routinely so in order to not see the y2k phenom in an arcane system you would have had to retrofit 18 mos ago. Some shops have a smaller planning window sure but its always at least 6 mos.

You seem to have an excellent understanding of this. Can you estimate if ITWO's backlog is safe enough from pushouts so that Y2K
won't have a tremendous negative impact on revenue in 2H99?
