Nick, perhaps the wall St analysts know more about Y2k spending than the CFO of the world's second largest software company -g- Few people realize that Wall St has two kinds of buy recommendations one is buy this company is great the other is you buy while we SELL. HO HO HO Mike

From the news on ORCL: <<Abbott said sales have suffered because of the Year 2000 problem, a slowdown in the Enterprise Resource Planning market, and two other market factors: the delay of the Microsoft Windows 2000 operating system and the rapid ascension of the Linux operating system. >> What companies will be affected by these? Care to speculate? And also, I thought they all say Y2k problem will only start to affect pc business from 2nd half of the year. How come now it is already? Thanks for the article, Nick.
