Andreas, Re: "Indeed, most companies are already y2K compliant" Is this true? Last month, several F500 companies unexpectedly increased their Y2K expenditures. A Y2K contractor wrote in a publication she's booked past Jan 2000 because the workload is so high; can't get it all done before Jan 2000. I don't know if her article was credible. But the article about F500 companies unexpectedly increasing their Y2K expenditures came from a credible publication and it quoted numbers. So, please let me know if you found new reports indicating most companies are already Y2K compliant. Amy J p.s. Agree with a lot of your comments on Jim Seymour's article.

Micron Electronics' Chairman and Chief Executive Joel Kocher said a large percentage of its customers are "power users" who want to wait for new technology and were tempted by Intel's promotion of its Pentium III processors. "The major issue was Pentium III," Kocher said. "Unfortunately for us, the timing could not have been worse." But the company said it will probably benefit from Pentium III sales in its third quarter
