It took McAfee many years to grow from a tiny shareware company to where they are today. Unfortunately, 11th Hour is starting this Y2K business late, as in only 20 months until 1/1/2000. That's not a lot of time to acquire, beta test, package, produce, and market a product. Oh, and they still need to do some work on that Web site: 11th-hoursw.com How long do you think $500,000 will last?

Jim, Let me tell you and others a story. It's not about CSHK but can give people an idea how things happen and get going. Back in the very early 1980s, I was involved in an IBM PC users group. We transferred files on 150 baud modems and moved up to 300 baud. We would set our machines up at night to transfer info while we slept. It was long and painful. Then, one day, at one of our meetings, this guy names Phil Katz brought up the idea of reducing the time of transmission. We all said go for it and bring it in for us to look at. What it was called was PKARCH and PKUNARCH. We loved it. We loved it so much we put it out on other bulletin boards we talked to in order to reduce long distance calls. We didn't realize it at the time but we were his personal distributors. Well, over time Phil worked on it more and came out with PKZIP and PKUNZIP. Needless to say, we didn't know this either, but Phil became a millionaire before our very eyes. So, never again should people go about things with their eyes closed. It doesn't take a tremendous product offering to make it big. All it takes is being in the right place at the right time with the right product. And believe me, Y2K is huge right now. Companies are strapped and spending more and more money each day on it... more than originally expected. And if someone can come out with something to ease this, do you think it will sell? Based on what I have seen in the past, I have no doubts. Kevin
