please, not to mistake my meaning. Original message to you was because of your higher visibility on this thread and to initiate some dialogue based on fact on a name still being largely ignored at least by this particular community, not to get "you" to buy stock. I guess you could say I'm looking for thoughtful responses. For instance, sure, I know the list of risk factors in the Zmax registration statement. But if 80% of them really are true of every company in the industry, then I don't think you can single them out as "risky" on that basis. Of course I concede that they're at an earlier stage of development; tried to make that clear in my first post. Anybody else care, or should we just wait for business events to prove this right or wrong? By the way, if anybody has comments on Strategia, I'd like to hear them. Can't figure it out. Doug

Michal - I have a hunch that they will tell you no project can be considered completely y2k compliant, until it has been proven to be so - sometime after 01/01/2000. This is going to be all over the map... it all depends on the specific nature of the system. I think I recently mentioned a BoM (bill of materials) system in a manufacturing company. It had to be Y2Kok as of 1/1/98 because of it's two year look ahead. And they won't be out of the woods until 1/1/01 since the system also looks back a full year. Certainly companies are putting converted systems back into production already. But I know of no one who's ready to start jumping up & down & yelling "Victory!"... far too early & far too many uncontrolled variable still flapping in the wind. - David
