Regarding the Y2K problem. "I would simply replace those old computers
and programing with new". The problem is not the cost of the hardware,
it's the cost of fixing the software. Software costs, at least as
measured in cost to produce a final program, have not come down at
anywhere near the rate of hardware costs. As a manager, I may want to fix
or replace the software, but if the higher ups don't approve my request,
I'm stuck, even if I am the one to eventually take the blame. Life ain't
fair.

Regarding a top, it certainly seems that the summer rally as been late
and
half hearted. What cause would there be for a MAJOR top now? I can't
hardly
believe that the GM strike is enough to cause something. If the bull
market
started in July of '82 an anniversary date comes in July every year(this
is
the 16th) and there have been a number of gyrations in July over the
years.
Not to over play the Y2K mess but something I read said that because of
departmental guidelines and fiscal years, trouble could begin as early as
July of this year. The one thing that I don't understand about Y2K is
that
computers are so much cheaper, more powerful and versatile now. If I were
a
manager and suspected that I had a bug. I would simply replace those old
computers and programing with new. Wouldn't your job be on the line if
you
had known for years about the problem and didn’t do anything? Something
about Y2k just doesn't jive.
Regards,
Brent
