I will admit that this TexasDude has a problem comprehending any number that ends in billion or trillion. Therefore, can anyone explain to me at what point would it be more feasible just to install a whole new system and not try to piecemeal a redo of their antiquated current systems that can't read the year 2000. By the mere fact that many companies are NOT in current negotiations with the likes of ZITEL, would it not be fair to assume that they are planning to buy new systems and therefore avoid this expense of fixing a "knot on a log" and still have dated equipment. I would like to think that the leaders of most American corporation are smarter than what Jack King gives them credit for. I find it ironic that when politicians get caught with their hand in the cookie jar, they get religion. When Jack King gets caught with no revenue in the money jar he gets piety and disdain for his fellow CEO's of corporation that might want to use his product. I can just hear him now calling up a CEO of another company and saying,.."Hey you stupid jerk don't you know about the Year 2000 problem. Let me sell you the best product on the market. I can have one of our mobile factories at your site in minutes. Aren't you listen to me you mental reject? I told you my name is Jack King."
