Joseph, <One prediction that I will make is that there will definately be a flat tax from the IRS(ironically done for THEIR benefit, not ours). Totally concur with your prediction. <Another interesting idea that I heard from Peter Wong of Data Dimensions is that the there is a Year 2000 motive behind the telephone companies offering flat rates for long distance.> Very likely. <Hmmm, I'll have to check this out.> I'd love to hear what you find out. If it's true, I doubt it will be for public consumption though. They'd want to put a proactive spin on this, rather than reactive. Just like the Flat Tax. Cheryl P.S. Could you please post your Y2K banking site link. I misplaced it. Thanks.
