PREDICTIONS FOR 1998 14. Bob Bemer's Vertex solution will actually work, and be used in 0.5% of IBM mainframe sites around the world. Bemer will become a zillionaire. 13. Al Gore will announce his early choice for good-looking, techno-savvy running mate in the 2000 presidential election - Urkel. 12. TEDennis will wake up - several times a day. 11. Bill Wexler will remain asleep - but will have nightmares about YHOO. 10. CA will buy IAIC - on condition that the source code for Elliot Winter is turned over to them and locked in a vault for ever. 9. The Mala Strana side of the Charles Bridge in Prague will become a popular tourist destination for wealthy Y2K investors, where they must brave crowds of rum-soaked "eccentrics", all claiming to be Josef Svejk. 8. Ross Perot will announce his early choice for wealthy, wacky, Texan running mate in the 2000 presidential election - Bob Bemer. 7. CalculatedRisk and nonzeroa will get married in a small private ceremony in Denver. 6. CSGI will hire Paul Ebeling to replace tech as "Director of Investor Relations", and will be immediately bought out by NAMX in return for 100 million unregistered shares (later valued at $42.99 in an SEC filing by NAMX). CSGI will produce infomercials for the Vertex "hair enhancement" product to kill time between conversions. 5. Bill Gates will announce his early choice for good-looking, techno-savvy running mate in the 2000 presidential election - Janet Reno. 4. Bored with posting details of his ever-swelling Y2K portfolio, paul e thomas will instead submit stroke-by-stroke accounts of his golf outings. 3. Mad Monk will realize obscene capital gains in his ever-swelling Y2K portfolio, and post a stroke-by-stroke account of his "celebrations" that even his staunchest admirers find hard to swallow. Suspended by SI, he will admit himself into the Masters and Johnson clinic. 2. C. K. Houston will get stuck in an elevator moments before her first Today show interview. 1. FBN really will have an IPO. (with thanks to Jeff Mitchell)
