From Oakland Tribune (9/6/98): A story is making the rounds in Washington about a meeting between a State Department official and a government representative in a Third World country. The Foreign Service officer asks what the nation is doing to deal with the Millennium Bug. The government official raises his hand reassuringly. "Don't worry," he tells the American. "We are prepared to spray everywhere."

Michael and other Year 2k stock fans, where is everybody placing bets for the next cycle up. I am convinced we will definitely have one, the question is from what levels. At this point, I find it hard to believe that a stock like VIAS, or even ACLY for that matter is going to continue dropping much from these levels. One could almost make an argument for buying ACLY at 2 and holding for 5 or 6 later this fall when DEC kicks in. I also find it hard to believe that institutions are going to "pass on" this sector the closer we get and the more panic and media attention to the issues. None of these stocks need approach their highs of the year to have substantial gains, which is why I am still hanging in there. Thoughts anybody? Also for programmers, I would love to get an update of what you are currently seeing. The picture I continue to view is getting uglier by the day. I am just amazed at how little has happened. Kathy
