<DIV><FONT size=2>I don't think you have followed and/or read all the 
information we have<BR>posted over the last few months.&nbsp; It has been in the 
Monitor and on our<BR>web site.&nbsp; I didn't say we didn't "give a good 
damn."&nbsp; I said we won't<BR>support the program any more.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>The company decision was to not make any version prior to 6.52 
Y2K<BR>compliant.&nbsp; We set a version level and have not kept it a 
secret.&nbsp; Most<BR>software companies are not fixing older versions of their 
software for<BR>many reasons, not the least of which is costs 
involved.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>I am not telling you not to use the program.&nbsp; I am 
telling you, as<BR>stated publicly before, that we are not going to support it 
anymore.&nbsp; I<BR>also am not telling you it will or won't work 
properly.&nbsp; I am telling<BR>you that we are not supporting it and therefore 
have not tested it<BR>against Y2K data.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>Companies must draw the line somewhere.&nbsp; We are not 
supporting anything<BR>prior to version 6.52 for Y2K compatibility.</FONT></DIV>
<DIV>&nbsp;</DIV>
<DIV><FONT size=2>We are also not trying to make money on the Y2K issue.&nbsp; 
Here is a<BR>letter, also to be published publicly, which we have been sending 
to<BR>people who ask about the Y2K issue.&nbsp; In it, we state that you can 
get<BR>version 6.52 without manuals for $10.00 beginning September 1, 1999 
no<BR>matter what version of MetaStock you currently own.</FONT></DIV>
