All: The focus of discussion seems to be, rightly, on Lucent's positioning for the future in telecomm/networking. Around the edges I occasionally hear discussion (usually not on SI) about an upcoming windfall opportunity for Lucent and other telecomm equipment companies from the sales of Year 2000 ready products to replace telecomm equip that is not Year 2000 ready. From what I've discerned, there is a lot of old equip out there that is not Y2k compliant and will have to be replaced. Does anyone else see this as the potential windfall that I do? I see very little mentioned about this in the press, in analysts comments, etc. TIA. ...Tim
