EG. Company "ABCD3 Widgets INC" is losing money every year, if it wasn't for Y2K they could still go on losing money? SO ABCD3 Widgets INC, decides to pull the plug, because upgrading will just cost too much money, and since they are always losing money, it's all because of Y2K? Did I get this right, or am I missing something?

I guess I am more of a formidable opponent than you first though a year ago. I still enjoy debating with you. Just think of me as the other side of the coin. : )
