Humble suggestion, Don, how about you tell us about it here next time: "Y2K" (Year 2000) Stocks: An Investment Discussion Subject 2448 No skin off my back either way, but others prefer it that way. (Sure hope this doesn't again lead to bickering about what should or should not be posted here. Another words, no need to answer, and please don't take all this the wrong way. Oh, and thanks for the heads-up!) Svejk (GL-15 applies: digiserve.com ;-)

<<< ABBY COHEN PICKS PSFT >>> Interesting. The CEO of PSFT voiced a different opinion. ------------------------------------------------------ October 6, 1997 6:00 PM ET At Gartner Symposium, industry execs grapple with fallout of Year 2000 By Lisa DiCarlo, PC Week Online ÿ ORLANDO, Fla. -- Large corporations are spending roughly 20 percent of their IT budgets on the Year 2000 issue and, as a result, are putting application development and other projects on the back burner. That was the unsettling finding voiced here today at Gartner Group Inc.'s IT Symposium. At a morning panel, Dell Computer Corp. CEO Michael Dell, PeopleSoft Inc. President, Chairman and CEO Dave Duffield, and Sybase Inc. CEO Mitchell Kertzman addressed the ripple effect the finding would have on their business. "The [spending] boom is gone because of Year 2000 spending,'' said Duffield. "And that could result in a major slowdown of deployments.'' ------------------ Wade
