as someone who has been "in the hills" for over 20 years (lifestyle choice, not a survialist mentality) I can tell you that the hills are already pretty much full and getting fuller & very expensive. Anyone thinking of jumping into some sweetspot anywhere in the rockies region had better have a LOT of cash

Flatsville - I heard bits and pieces of a "we can't all head for the hills" discussion between Yardeni and some guy from Santa Cruz? That was Bill Ulrich (not the same Bill Ulrich seen on some SI threads). He's been doing Y2K as long as anyone. His original entry into the field was really the late '80s (when I first began speaking with him) when he was attempting to sell good software maintenance tools & process. In one sense, Y2K is just about 50 years of deferred software maintenance. [i.e. you CAN run a car without changing the oil, but sooner or later, it will cost you big time.] Y2K is just the presentation of the bill that we've deferred for so long. I was somewhat surprised to hear that Bill Ulrich is now getting actively involved at his local community level. Reading between his words, I interpreted him to be implying that he's still finding active pockets of inactivity. [but that's my interpretation of his words] - David
