TED...Thanks for another gratis eval. I agree expanding to four digits is optimal, but as you stated, that would have required that all concerned actually planned and acted years ago. Crazy concept I know. Hopefully our pal Bob's version of "tricks" is viewed as best by the market. It's a helluva human interest story anyway. Peter

actually i think y2k is a way overblown, virtual non event. basic law of economics, if you know what the problem is before the fact, it will not be a problem when the time comes. theres enough historical precedent to back this up. nevertheless im here invested because lets face it, people love this s$#t, armageddon, disaster, destruction etc, specially with the whole new millenium thing thrown in. should be the media blitz of 1999 regardless of fact and reality. anyway we are all here for the same ends, the means just differ some. please excuse the vulgarity. poet.

Just a quote from a recognizable name around here: Is Washington Fiddling While The Y2K Bug Burns? Government agencies still have a long way to go to protect their computers from the millennium bug. What have they been doing all this time? (ABCNEWS.com) By Michael J. Martinez ABCNEWS.com Dec. 2 — Is Washington Fiddling While The Y2K Bug Burns? With fewer than 400 days to go before Jan. 1, 2000, recent reports out of Washington, D.C., indicate that both state and federal governments have a long way to go to inoculate their computers from the millennium bug. The military agency charged with ensuring the safety of the nation's nuclear weapons stockpile has been accused by the Pentagon's inspector general of falsifying Y2K readiness reports. A Republican congressman has given the Clinton administration a “D” grade on its Y2K efforts. And a congressional report claims that state human-services agencies are falling behind on Y2K-bug fixes, which could lead to delays in benefit checks for people on welfare or unemployment. “The truth is beginning to surface,” says William Ulrich, president of the Strategic Tactical Group, an information systems and Y2K consultancy. “I'm not surprised by this, but the government's lack of action will probably surprise a lot of people who thought things were better than they are.” <snip>
