Ed, Both are true. The problem is, Y2K is a problem that can only be fixed with, appropriately on Labor Day Weekend, hard grunt labor. You need programmers to write or revise millions of lines of code. Technology provided by the Y2K cos. helps identify where you have problems and provides tools to make the code writing more efficient, but the bulk of the money spent is not going to end up on the pockets of Y2K tech cos. It will end up in the hands of those cos. who lease out programmers for ever higher fees. So, there is no reason why the cost of Y2K cannot grow larger and the time grow shorter while the solutions cos. have a mini bear market. That being said, I like some of these cos. and as they come down, may once again buy some of the stocks. MB
