Y2K comments...

I am involved with Y2K at my company. My observation so far is that most profit producing or sustaining projects have taken a back seat to Y2K efforts. Due to changes in the GAAP all costs associated with Y2K are expensed, they can't be capitalized. Hiring of outside help is an extremely small proportion of the expense. We are handling most of the issues in house, and I think many companies are. I think maybe the COBOL cowboys are getting a bit to close to the 'net's stage lights and getting too warm. Just my thoughts and observations.

James I don't follow Y2K stocks much since I consider the the growth only temporary, but check out KEA's revenue growth from Y2K.

If they are not spending the money, they are not fixing the problem. Everyone is trying to do it in house.

In the year 2000 some of them will not have a house to go to.
