<Just wondering why MSFT would be hurt by declining sales caused by Y2K worries.> I know Paul, that's why I posted it... it's a fairly lame 'reason' that really doesn't make sense. If anything, Y2K concerns should stimulate the sale of computers and software, IMHO. I can just see them strategzing the call with their CFO: "let's say something about Y2K concerns". Afterwards "they bought that one! ha, ha". Microsoft is always desperately trying to talk down their future numbers. It's almost an industry joke. -Steve
