Nate, I think you might be jumping the gun when you made the
following statement. I've been doing Y2K inventory work now for the
last 9 months for Raytheon and its come to our attention that many
Power/Gas/Water Utilitiy companies haven't even started to look at
the problem and many have stated that they don't plan on doing
anything. Many smaller companies still don't have a clue as to what
they should be doing about it. My sister works for an investment
company that owns many small businesses. They also haven't even
started to look at what should be done. Its true many corporations are
on the right track. I can say for certain the General Mills, Pillsbury,
Kraft and several others that we are dealing with will be in excellent
shape. They are also spending a lot of money to ensure they are. The
dollar amount is staggering especially when you consider that most of
the cost has to be expensed during that fiscal year and not capitalized
over 5 or 7 years. There are going to be a lot of stock holders
disappointed when there aren't any dividents paid next year.
