Mohan <<I don't what this HP guy is thinking,if anything things should begin to look a lot better by 2nd half of 99 'cos that is when the presently troubled economies,(particularly the S.E.Asians with the possible exception of Indonesia and Malaysia), will begin to stabilize and between Q1-Q2 of 2000 most of them should begin to report marginal to healthy single digit GDP growth. To my line of thinking from here to there is the difficult one for most.>> yes, and the Asian nations have not even begun to prepare for y2K. there would more likely be a stampede in the 2nd half of 99 for y2K, not a retraction. HP needs a new CEO.

If org.s wait till the second half of 99 to get it together, they are idiots, frankly I find it hard to believe any sane IT manager would. Maybe what HWPs CEO meant to say was individuals or small firms not corps. Greg

Good Morning Mohan, I agree with your comment about HWP and the forecast pertaining to them and their company. I have a problem with how this stuff gets released to the market. Since I didn't read the release and only read a reference to it I can't say for sure what the overall tone was. BUT...I can guess. Knowing the media I would not be surprised to find out they painted it as if this was going to be a problem for all the tech companies. They just love to heap the "B.S." on to stir people up. As for the world economy it might be difficult to pin down when we will be over the hill..however investors should keep in mind we have been on that trail for over a year. I think there is a tendancy to forget that and think this is something that has only been around for the last 6 months. As unfortunate as it is that "rantings and ravings" to both extremes hurt the novice investor it does present opprotunities for the patient person to make additional gains. Speaking of which...Dell 54 1/4 with over 6 million traded (R.T.) T.R.
