New Forbes article attempting to debunk Y2K issues... see forbes.com For a flavor of the article, here is the opening paragraph: "Who needs facts when you are peddling fear and panic. That seems to be the case with the hype that is portraying the Year 2000 computer bug as the biggest threat to civilization since Godzilla destroyed Tokyo. According to a number of recent articles, this ubiquitous and all-powerful bug is the worst crisis ever to face the world's information systems. " For what it's worth, I spoke personally with Steve Forbes about Y2K last month, and it was clear he was fairly clueless... especially about embedded systems. He seemed aware of mainframe problem, and FAA problems, but when I asked him what he thought about the problems the utilities are facing, he hadn't a clue what I was talking about. (I described briefly the issues, and his reply "Hmm.. sounds like a good reason we need more deregulation" Huh???)

Josef, Risky....I just got a new IPO Command Systems at IPO price of 12 and then I purchased 3000 more at 13 15/16. This is a fantastic company. I know a lot of folks there . They have major contracts with insurance companies such as Hartford, phoenix, NY Life etc. Excellent revenues and a great upside potential. THIS IS ANOTHER SYNT except you will see a steady climb. I see there is a thread started by DD and will give an excellent glimpse of this company.
