After reading the following item I wondered if FBN considered putting a new front-end on it's 'Y2K Solution Software' and cross marketing it to the retail channel for gamers? Just think of the fun adventures combating Y2K Bugs in 3-D hires graphics and surround sound... Could license to Sony and Nintendo and really make those development dollars pay off.
