Dear Kevin: I suggest you check your facts about the amount of contracts being awarded to Y2K companies. At this point in time very few contracts have been awarded. The tip of the iceberg hasn't appeared yet. However the flood gates are poised to open by April/May of this year. A large percentage of companies are stuck in denial. The rest are struggling with top management and there boards to justify the costs and the ramification to their stock holders. I suggest you do your research carefully on the web....

Kevin..Please Check your facts..The IPO offer came out at $3.50 a share and is not down 50% from the IPO....as a mater of fact you could buy it for $4 & change up through 10:00am..... Before you bother saying Johnny Q. Public couldn't buy at $3.50...I will dissagree....I did and I am nobody( Boy,that doesn't sound right) So technically CSGI is up over 30% from the IPO.. IPOingly your, Ted P.S. I also bought alot more at $11 range so lets hope we get something going with this CSGI thing.

Kevin, I think what you're forgetting here is just how much overhead is involved with switching to a fully-automated solution. I mean, you have to re-train the prisoners from thinking in terms of seven digit license plates to four digit year codes. Then you have the re-tooling efforts involved in moving from metal rectangles to blocks of code. Adding to that, you have specialist engineers like inmate #9145 who is so much in demand for this type of work that a code backlog continually mounts whilst he attends to investment advisory details.
