Lee: The year 2000 problem is going to create a hugh demand for sofware and computers, most of the small businessmen I know tend to put off a cure until something happens, a lot still using outdated computers/software. Big companies are in better shape, banks know they must be prepared. The little ones will try to keep doing the things they enjoy doing,making products pleasing customers. When those customers start getting screwed-up billings and you get a delivery of 10,000 parts from a supplier instead of the 10 you ordered the s---t will hit the fan. Its either shut the place down or get the yr 2000 compatible software/ computer. And by tommorow, or at most a week. Whatever happens, it should be fun to watch,and I expect big upward bump in computer related sales. Sig

<<I was impressed with the story tonight of a British company which has worked out a way to provide phone/internet connectivity over high-tension power lines.>> Ahem. That was a Canadian company. Northern Telecom. Don't know why they're working with the Brits. I could use 50x the speed right here at home. :-) Bob (in British Columbia)

Sig, Hi!!! So interesting and fascinating isn't it?????? If you had read my post last night concerning my own family and their opportunities in the past 100+ years....I attempt to judge things from a historical perspective....and your post is so appropriate here....things can change so fast...and technology is growing and changing faster than any other sector or aspect of potential change in the history of the world....think of how long we have waited in our lifetimes for some of the changes....and how quickly are we accessing these new opportunities? Best, Kemble
