RSD, I am hearing that there may be some changes to the retirement plan which will allow, among a number of things, the ability to remove over funded dollars under existing ERISA guidelines. If true, this could be a windfall of 2 to 3 billion dollars to boost any business stall in the fourth quarter or first quarter 2000 and it would go to the bottom line on an after tax basis since it went into the retirement on a tax incented basis. If any of this happens those who are on the thread and have retired from IBM could shed some light on what it all means. Thanks in advance.
