Dave - BMR software (created by the inventor of Cobol, Bemer) which is designed to auto detect and "auto-fix" IBM-based UNIX mainframe Y2K problems. You're jumbling your facts... (but then this is an investment forum). Bob Bemer claims invention of the ASCII esc (escape) character sequence. He was by no means the "inventor" of COBOL. "IBM-based UNIX mainframe"... that's a complete oxymoron. IBM MVS (actually it's OS390 now I believe) has very little Unix (which is an operating system, like MVS & Windows & MacOS). - David

CLCK-Columbia Capital is a small company with an absolutely huge future. Columbia Capital has EBT contracts with the federal government for the use of debit cards to replace food stamps and eventually even social security checks that virtually assures this company of astronomical growth. The company has a Y2K software solution that could be used in as many as 2/3's of the banks in the United States. The company currently handles credit and debit card services for small to medium sized banks and financial services organizations. They handle document management and distribution services for these institutions and with their technology they are capable of handling services over great distances as if they were taking place within one single business location. By the year 2000, two-thirds of American households will have a debit card. Debit cards are expected to rival cash and checks as a form of payment. With the debit card, you are using your own money, not the issuer's money. Columbia Capital could be involved in a large number of these transactions. On the Y2K front: I think Columbia Capital could have the blockbuster software solution for Y2K problems for the banking industry. This week CLCK already announced two agreements which are expected to result in revenues of $1,250,000 for the fiscal year ended on December 31, 1998 and $2,500,000 for each of the fiscal years 1999 and 2000. These agreements are with Peak Card Management, Sioux Falls, SD, a new customer, and BestBank, Boulder, CO, an existing customer. Both contracts are for processing services. Here is the full story: biz.yahoo.com Columbia Capital is already profitable having earned 3 cents in the first quarter before announcement of these only the first of what I feel will be many Y2K contracts. Check out the first quarter report: biz.yahoo.com Would you like to take a look at a great looking chart on CLCK? dailystocks.net Here is the thread I started just last weekend on CLCK: Subject 21002 People this is not the first winning stock I have picked. I started the ABMI thread on March 2nd when that stock was selling for 34 cents. Yesterday it closed at .81 but it has been over a $1 twice on extremely high volume since I began the thread: Subject 19556 Here is a chart for ABMI a company in the minimally invasive surgical field. This company is just now coming into it's own. The fundamentals are improving rapidly and it's my feeling that anything under $1 will ultimately be very cheap for ABMI: dailystocks.net Please don't flame me for this post if you feel it is out of place on this thread. Any and all questions investors may have about ABMI or CLCK will be answered on their respective threads and I won't be back here taking up thread space again for anything that might be considered off topic. As always do your own due diligence before making any investment decisions. If anyone would like to be on an e mail mailing list for these and any future stock picks I may have please e mail me at: jfhenken@ix.netcom.com Regards, Jeff
