Newsflash!!! This just appeared on Yahoo and was posted to the FBN website: FBN ANNOUNCES CURE FOR 600 BILLION DOLLAR MILLENNIUM BUG Sedona, AZ, April 1, 1998. FBN Associates (NASDAQ: FBNA), shocked the Y2K industry today by announcing a revolutionary new technology that promises a simple yet totally effective solution for the Year 2000 Problem. FBN NeuralNet 2000T is a unique, platform-independent hardware product that promises to dramatically slash Year 2000 labor costs. In an exclusive partnership between FBN and bio-silicon pioneer TechniClone Inc., FBN engineers have interfaced to TechniClone's CxBS neural network chip set. The chip set, based on the cross-patented "Blastomere Separation" process, has been in use for over a year, providing bio-technological solutions for various challenges in other industries. Research by FBN engineers has proven its applicability to software diagnostics and repair of the Year 2000 problem. FBN NeuralNet 2000T will work for ALL computer languages on ALL operating sytems, and can be installed into ANY computer, whether mainframe, mid-range or PC. No software or data changes are required, and there is no performance penalty. FBN claims 0% error rate, thus giving their product a significant advantage over other, more error-prone solutions. Adds VP of R&D, Jeffrey S. Mitchell, "This magic cure for the millennium bug was no secret. It's just that no one thought a highly sophisticated chip set like TechniClone's could be used to address a problem as simple as fixing date logic. Well, our technicians have built a series of gallium-arsenide "windows" inside the existing high-end arrays, which allows our patented Digital Date Derivation (DDD) algorithm to decompile and execute without disturbing the internal workings of the host processor. This solution is totally scalable, and works perfectly on all types of computer, from the la rgest mainframe to the humblest PC." Year 2000 expert and author, Stephanie Keyes DeJager, says "FBN's revolutionary approach certainly does cure the millennium bug without the error-prone and tedious task of changing program code. I call on companies and governments around the world to install FBN NeuralNet2000T as soon as possible. Only by doing this will we avoid the severe economic impact of the Y2K problem. FBN has brought us the silver bullet that can swat the Year 2000 bug dead in its tracks." FBN NeuralNet 2000T is currently in Beta test at several large International clients. FBN expects to start rolling out FBN NeuralNet 2000T boards in quantity by the second quarter of 1998. Pricing will vary, based on the size and make of the host processor.

I doubt it: magneticdiary.com They got serious products out, some serious marketing, (but a rather small float). I'm in the same boat as you...I got nothin' so far. I'm gonna keep tryin' though
