I'm looking forward to your next batch of 'articles', Don. It's hard to know what to make of this Y2K thing. I believe it was Ron Insana who interviewed a Y2K 'survivalist' magazine publisher who was all doom-and-gloom. Among other predictions he made was that the entire electric power system is going to fail because of imbedded Y2K-error microchips in all the equipment. Even the federal government seems to predict that the public and non-public sectors are underestimating the effects of Y2K. For all this, you'd think all the Y2K software companies should be booming, if tens or hundreds of billions of dollars have to be thrown at the problem. Yet I haven't seen any Y2K company that I'd call a decent investment. All are down big-time on long-term trends. Figure it!? Toby
