The slowing in growth does reflect what is happening in the market. A lot of the systems use future dates and would start failing much before year 2000 (calculation of loan payments, for example). Most of the critical systems have already been made year 2000 compliant or are very close. There are very few companies that have Dec 1999 as the scheduled date of completion for their Y2K projects. And those companies probably don't care about y2k compliancy anyways. So, I don't think revenues for y2k companies would increase now as we get closer to year 2000. I think we'll see a peak in 1998, or for some companies we might have seen a peak already.
