<<Are you saying that there is a direct connection between the collapse of Y2K stocks and your belief that the Y2K issue itself is (as you claim) a hoax?>> Much of the excitement about y2K stocks resulted from the belief that the Y2K problem was so pervasive and the costs to fix it would be so huge, that these companies would be swimming in cash. the fact that every single one of these stocks collapsed should tell you something. <<How do you argue that suddenly from the ether, computers will discover an additional two digit number after 99? [For those unfamiliar with computer math, 98 + 2 = 00 when dealing with two digit numbers. 100 is not valid since it's a three digit number, which by definition does not exist.]>> Your ignorance astounds me.
