Wasn't Y2K supposed to be the year that the market would enthusiastically embrace high tech?

Frank,

Just as the so-called January Effect now takes place months earlier, the big Y2K Effect took place in all of 1999. Remember that year? Yeah, I bet you do. :)

UF, re: Wasn't Y2K supposed to be the year that the market would enthusiastically embrace high tech

We are in a transition period waiting for the promise of broadband wireless and wireland to be realized. It will take sometime for the above to happen and to build out the "Next Big Thing". In the mean time we need sort is all out what was before and what will be. The following is how I see it. The last 10 years started with PC revolution that ushered in the net and so called new economy and it's new acronyms, such as B2C, B2B, which climaxed this March with a dose of reality as the promise was beginning to be understood. We are in the accepted and honed stage, while we wait for "The Next Big Thing" broadband promise to be built out.

The poster before was talking about new companies to look for. I agree, but I will not overlook the current crop of companies as important contributors going forward.
