Craig...

The concerns about what Y2K companies will be doing after 1/1/00 appear to be real.

>>Seec (SEEC) shares slid 10 percent when concerns over the company's future overshadowed better-than-expected fiscal fourth-quarter earnings.
The company gets 85-90 percent of its revenue from products aimed at helping computers adjust to year 2000. The share on non-Year 2000 revenue "could have shaken some people up," H.C. Wainwright analyst Alex Arnold said. "But the company is doing exactly what it should to build the business." The concerns outweighed better-than-expected fiscal first quarter earnings. The Pittsburgh-based company reported earnings of 17 cents per share, 4 cents ahead of analysts' expectations. Revenue at the company, which makes software "patches" to fix the problems associated with the upcoming change of the millennium, jumped 400 percent to $4.2 million. Shares closed off 1 3/8 at 13.

Craig, the post 2000 question has been argued here and on other threads. I think any company that is successful through y2k and had a credible core business previous to Y2k work will be able to lever the earnings and increased exposure/contacts to build a better post 2000 business.
With many (e.g. ACLY), even an optimistic projection shows the company valuation to still be far too high unless the Y2k specific earnings are coming in at $10-$20m/q.
