Hi David, Nice to have you on board. A very wise decision on your part. I just might accumulate more myself. Bill might be able to give you a better answer to your Y2K question. As far as I know, Intrinsyc was primarily involved with development tools for embedded systems using the Microsoft operating system. These embedded systems would have to go the Microsoft "route". You bring up a good point. It is definitely a possiblilty. It is definitely what Bill Gates has in mind in having Windows "everywhere". If Microsoft pulls its weight, then Intrinsyc will definitely have an opportunity with the year 2000 issue. By the way, I get my stock quotes from www.stockhouse.com. I noticed that their quote for Intrinsyc was $3.38 for the last price sold at over 900,000 shares with a $3.36-$3.38 bid/ask. It wasn't Tuesday's close. They were right all day long and they have always been a reliable service for me. Greenline says that about 887,000 shares traded and closed at $3.00. Is it possible that there was some sort of after hours trading which would account for the 900,000+ shares traded and higher price? Gary

I've read a pile of the post in the Y2K forum and it would appear that there is the potential for a shootload of problems with embedded applications. Intrinsyc may indeed reap some of the rewards of ameliorating the problems, but it will not be directly. Intrinsyc does not write the applications - rather it provides the tools and systems for compilers and for software writers to develop the applications. That's the beauty of Intrinsyc's position. It doesn't matter as much to Intrinsyc what company is successful in selling a lot of applications to the end user. So long as each company uses ICS's tools, it won't matter whether company A, B or C gets the final contract. Think of Intrinsyc's market place as a V shape with the applications at the top and Intrinsyc at the bottom. Every level of development has to start from the base - Intrinsy'c position. My understanding is that there are not a lot of competitors in Intrinsyc's area of the market place. Bill
