OFF TOPIC: Anyone out there know how to convert celcius to fahrenheit? As an aside I have been out of y2k stocks for some time except still hold a little VIAS ( which has wisely chosen to distance itself from the word y2k ) and DSYS which isn't worth enough to sell, but wish you all well. Frankly, after investing in many of them for most of '97 and 98 finally came to the conclusion that none of them are going to make much money, and except a few of the big ones they will all be history soon. The guys who were smart enough to short these 6-8 months ago have made a bundle. Good luck to you all, but if you are new to y2k be careful. These stocks follow the greater fool theory and suck in new money with hype about the world coming to an end while the old investors bail out at your expense. I keep looking at MIFGY as an example. I first bought ISLI at around 11 and sold in the high teens pre merger with MIFGY. I sold my merged shs for around 26, and now see MIFGY ( which includes ISLI ) selling for under 9. I got out of ACLY at 26 1/2 and when someone recommended the other day I buy it at 3 1/2 I laughed. Look at their last earnings report and tell me why it is worth $1. The list goes on and on. For every winner I had more losers, and am just sharing this with you if you are new to this and the other y2k threads. I didn't waste time going back over the list of posters as I am sure the same bunch of hypsters are still lurking around with the same old story. Enough said. Hard to believe all I wanted to know was how to figure out what 25-27 degrees celcius means. I'll just write this few minutes off as time spent spreading some Christmas good wishes. Happy Holidays to all!
