Hello Fellow Apple Followers, Apple has shown us the ability to take a company that was on the brink of meltdown to one that is in the forefront of the industry at this time. Our timely investment in Apple has served us well, and we believe these six months to be only the start of a truly successful turn around story. We are researching companies that are directly tied to Apple through strategic alliances etc., as we feel that these companies will ride on Apple's coat-tails. For example the company Totally Hip Software - THW, is poised for a huge break-out with their alliance to Apple as well as other majors. Not to mention their market share they will have for their web design tools and applications with Adobe leaving the consumer market. totallyhip.com Apple will do very well over the long term, we are now trying to discover small caps with Huge upside potential. Maybe THW will be the next "Big Name", considering all their awards, however, lets look at all the possibilities for up and comers. James Carter & Associates

I don't believe there will actually be much problem with the Y2K bug when 2000 rolls around, Hard to say. I fully expect most of the banks and utilities in the first world to get their software fixed before middle next year, thosre are not the ones to worry about. What troubles me is the non-obvious glitches, e.g. GM tested their robots for Y2K "just in case" as it was "clear and obvious" that robots should be oblivious to the day of the week, much less the year. Well, lo and behold, a significant portion of the robots did not work. Only god knows how many "time-oblivious" embedded-mechanisms in actuality depend on the time and might not work come year 2K.

It's the same reason I plan to pull out of the market in the middle of next year. I believe fear of the Y2K bug and general uneasiness about the approaching millennium will cause others to pull out of the market around that time, causing big sell offs. There is potential for significant Y2K failures at two other times next year. The first is Jan 1, 1999 because systems that look ahead 1 year could fail. And the second is April 1, 1999 as many national(Japan) and state(New York) governments begin fiscal year 2000 on that date. Anyone who believes that Y2K is a real problem needs to respect these dates when deciding how to protect there portfolio. Anyone who doesn't believe Y2K is a real problem needs to research it more. :) Jon Bird
