Cheeky--Mitch really said this? Just recently said this? (or something to this effect?)

>>>He says it would be a good idea for companies to use Y2K repairs as a lost leader to get their foot in the door. (Not exact words)<<<

My, oh my! Isn't he brilliant! I assume that he's not aware that many y2k/IT body shops have been using y2k to get their foot in the door for the past 3+ years and have acutally made a profit on the y2k jobs and posted quarter over quarter growth in earnings to boot. y2k need not be/was not a "loss leader" for any company that knows/knew what it was doing. Glad their board of directors weren't listening to Mitch, "I'll pit my experience and knowledge of the industry and issues related to IT management against anyone of the doomers," Ratcliffe.
