Typical of corporate America! to leave the fixing of the year 2000 problems (all the databases, the scripts, reports, etc..) until the last moment. The charges to fix the Y2K problems are gonna start to show up on the balance sheets of alot of these companies between now and Dec 30 1999. Information Systems consultants make HUGE dough! Ouch...that's gotta hurt!

>Not to mention the year 2000 problem !!! >I think the tech stocks are in big trouble ... Right, though my main concern is kidneys. I am sure that Altera CEO Rodney Smith travels quite a lot, with all the secret UN conferences he must be attending; what if one day Rodney wakes up in an ice bath, with a note telling him to call 911? Surely, one cannot be a CEO without a functioning set of kidneys. Perhaps by then it will be too late to realize that customers who are fed up with paying $250 for a pld development recipe are posting the source code on the internet. As Kurt Vonnegut said in his speech at the MIT graduation ceremonies, "Sell all tech stocks now!"
