Aps: I think it is much worse than that. Only the company officers remain, everyone else is on early extended Christmas Holiday(no pay of course). Lane is burning 8i cd's and Ellison is loading them onto his sailing ship and taking them to a FDX in Japan( hopefully not via Australia or we're sunk)for world wide distribution to the masses. The remaining officers are on the phones trying to place conslutants. No one is interested but they ask "Do any know RPG or COBOL?" Y2K is killing this dog for good. Our only prayer before earnings is 8i, Gods Speed Larry & Ray. The sky is falling, Duck Aps.
