There are 2 camps but, one is right and the other is not..The problem is real, how large...VERY. What many people think is that all will happen Jan 1, 2000...wrong! The problems will begin in Jan 1 1999, when the computers try to look a year ahead and see those zero's... at that point systems will fail....many i believe have been duped into thinking that it's not a big problem and systems will not be affected or only minimally.... these are people with little faith imho. You are absolutely right about one thing ...if systems fail there will be a general panic and a flock to cash rather than stocks as systems fail and problems mount. ALYD, can only solve so many problems and will be at best a small player...but, as these problems occur many will move to speculate on Y2K and ALYD may benefit some at that point before the real panic sets in, at which time the only place to be will be HARD currency....yes, oddly enough Gold...I am not a goldbug. The problem is real and ALYD does have a chance in the window of opportunity to reach momemtary stardom... Yes, the internet is hot and tech is hot but, when the first problems begin to surface which, could be as early as Dec 1,1998, Y2K will be hott again and ALYD should benefit.
