I'm not sure how year 2K sales can be huge in the next couple of years. Can you elaborate on that? Year 2K problems will not start right at New Years, 2000. People who enter advance orders into a system will be dealing with the 2000 date well before the year 2K. So companies really need to have started by now to implement fixes or just buy an entire new (Oracle) application. Perhaps some incredibly late companies are just now buying some Oracle database and applications software, but the window seems to be closing fast. How can it possibly be that Y2K sales will be huge over the next two years?
