It's a disaster. They told us three months ago that Y2K isn't going to have any effect on them at all. They miss this quarter, now they're saying the next quarter is going to be even worse and that the first quarter will have even more losses.

The cat's out of the bag here with IBM. It's going to affect more than IBM, because Y2K is a concern and it's going to affect many different sectors of the market. And analysts have already switched from just looking at earnings to quality of earnings.

We believe we are Y2K compliant; this is just a precaution.

Our products reflect the concerns of our consumers about Y2K.
