I looked at this company over a year ago and I was literally on my knees laughing at the information describing their factory-automated Y2K repair process. These COBOL business applications are about as high tech as an etch-a-sketch, as are the development environments. Elementary school children design and write more sophisticated, better structured software for their pocket calculators than most of this stuff. Forecross tried to make their approach to fixing it sound highly structured and sophisticated but the more they tried the more I laughed at the absurdity of it all. Their speil was clearly targeted toward investors who probably couldn't spell Y2K nevermind explain it. The Stock went from about 3 or 4 bucks up to the 20's and I just shook my head and waved goodbye. I knew they'd be back. Welcome home!
