I'm one of the "year 2000" will be a big mess for we investors" crowd. I dont look for much upside on DELL or anything else (other than short term momentum things) until it plays out, probably Feb or Mar 2000. Should be a lot of wanting stocks and buying built up by that time though. Hope we all still have a portfolio!!!! Freeus

I agree with you that Dell probably hit bottom a few days ago. I've put my money where my mouth is by buying today. As for Y2K, I really don't know. Where I work we just went through a Y2K upgrade this past weekend, so now we are supposedly Y2K compliant. Some people are very ignorant of Y2K. I even heard a lady on the radio a few days ago who said she wasn't going to buy her first home computer until the year 2000 because she was scared of the Y2K bug! Hopefully the people running IT departments are more knowledgeable :-)

<<IT departments all across the nation to freeze spending on new computers until the Y2K issue is resolved>> you must be kidding? which company(ies)? there are four options for y2k (1) jerry rig current system for short term fix, (2) replace all software, (3) replace current hardware, (4) do nothing. many large companies opted for the jerry rig and are expensing out larger outlays for entire replacement of current software and hardware over time, right up to day 1 and beyond. those that opted for the jerry rig have on average 3 to 5 years to replace current systems to conform. the jerry rig was designed to fool the computer into accepting a 2000 year date. but, looks like your thinking is winning today. who can argue with that. it's all about that anyway.
