MB - " Y2K Stress Drives Man to Suicide Friday, July 9, 1999; 1:35 p.m. EDT TOKYO (AP) -- Stress from dealing with the Y2K computer problem drove a 40-year-old man to commit suicide last year, his wife reportedly said in a petition for compensation filed Friday. ... According to Kyodo, the petition said the man, whose name was withheld, was ordered to ensure that more than 600 pieces of software would be free of the millennium bug. The work did not go well, and he would come home late complaining to his wife, ''I want to die,'' Kyodo said. He jumped to his death from their apartment building in February 1998... ...If the Labor Standards Direction Board approves her petition, she will be eligible to receive compensation worth two-thirds of her husband's salary, Yoshikawa said... © Copyright 1999 The Associated Press " Michael - Please review all the posts in this thread to ensure that all words are spelled correctly and that there is nothing that can be misinterpreted by a reader. No hurry, if you finish by Sunday night, that will be fine. -g- Regards, Don

MB, Looks like this kitty is about thru bouncing for a week or 2 just before earnings time. I bailed on my 2 week old holding with a 5 pt. profit. I think I'll get a chance to buy it back for the run up to EPS .
