Hi Ron, >>My opinion is that the SEC's new requirements for disclosing Y2K unfunded liabilities will be one of the major catalysts for bringing the potential costs and dangers implicit in Y2K to a head.

Do you know which quarter this reporting has to start?

I am aware of some banks that are looking for partners that are on track to be Y2K compliant because it will take them 1 year of earnings to fix the problem. I have wondered if the CEOs have even asked what are the schedule estimates to fix the problem.

Are most of the DC rumors of problems government or both industry and government?

Joan

Hello Ron,

Right or wrong? I have been told when using a cable modem your system can be accessed by ony other modem on the cable net. You can do the same because all PC are tied together?

Good investing all.

Poor me, all I can get is my old 14.4 zoom.

hey ron, what are you paying for that cable modem setup, if i may ask? who makes the modem? rented or bought? can you send as well as receive data, or you need a simultaneous phone connection to send? thanks for the info... i'm in the bay area, where one hears many apocryphal tales about cable modems, but i've never gotten any firsthand info.
