AMD headlining with the big guys!! ____________________________________________________________ AOL, IBM and AMD Score a Hat Trick With Earnings, Besting Estimates By Tara Murphy Staff Reporter 1/19/00 9:06 PM ET Ah, earnings season.

Gerstner, Jr., said in a statement: As we had anticipated, the Y2K issue hit us hard in the fourth quarter. Many of our large customers -- who handle much of the world's critical data -- had locked down their computer systems as they prepared for the Y2K transition. While we are pleased that this transition is proceeding smoothly for our customers, these lockdowns had a significant negative impact on our revenues and earnings in the quarter. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- America Online (AOL:NYSE - news) posted second-quarter earnings of 9 cents a share, a penny better than the 32-analyst estimate and up from the year-ago 4-cent profit, which has been adjusted two reflect two stock splits.
