Many of us have known about the GW Scam for a long time. Really not
much different than the Y2K scam that destroyed the chip industry
about a year and a half later or so....

And you understand this because you completed the 8th grade, right?

Y2K scam that destroyed the chip industry?

The tin has leaked into the skull. Maybe he should take the hat off
at night.

Yes, we've been chipless since 2000...didn't you know? :) There's no
more chip industry.


He'd have to remove the doo-rag, too. And if he did that, his greasy
hair would be getting into everything.

I agree, Y2K was one of the best things that happened to the computer
industry. Lots of people who only needed a little software patch,
bought a new machine.
Most of them would have been just fine if they simply rebooted their
machine in the morning and set the date.

I knew folks close to the action at Microsoft and they were freaked
out that air guidance systems were going to crash.

I'm sure it was blown out of proportion and there was certainly a lot
of work generated for cobol and fortran programmers.

I did not know anyone at IBM who took it seriously at all. Certainly
there was a lot of code that had to be changed but only for people who
had not updated their system in the early 90s. When I retired in 1996
we had already done Y2K compliance in our systems as part of the
ISO9000 fad. The IBM AT system (286 PC) was Y2K compliant.
dBase IV also was and that was a 1991? program. I found the old PC a
while ago that I had on my desk when I retired and that has not run
since 1996. Just for grins I cranked up the mirror of my parts
inventory system I wrote in 1992 and it ran just fine when I plugged
in a part usage in 2009. It whined a little that I had that part
sitting stocked and unused for 13 years ;-)

I bet China made a mint with Al Gores first big hoax on America...

The problem was, once everybody bought new computers at once, they
didn't need new ones for 2 1/2 to 3 years so the bubble was bound to
burst. I had one friend in the market heavy, I warned him to pull his
"bubble" stocks and he did, he was very grateful by the end of '02. Kind
of like the cash for clunkers is gonna' do or is doing to the car
industry.

The bubble had little to do with hardware. The stock bubble was
simply people betting on anything that had "dot com" in it's name.
Your Intel stock didn't get hurt at all (until the 9-11 crash) but
your "pets.com" stock went to zero.

I remember the computer manufacturers crying for business in the early
part of the decade.. Everyone had new computers, most businesses that I
dealt with at the time kept computers on line for an average of 3-4
years (non scientific guesstimate)... They were mostly cad-cam systems
just going from Token Ring to Ethernet...

An adroit analysis by The Freak. Cash for clunkers is going to cause
the bubble to burst in car sales.

Seems like that happened already, eh? Before cash for clunkers was
instituted. Do cars now have a 30 month lifespan, same as computers?

As you've pointed out, the bubble didn't have **** to do with hardware
sales. It was the inability of all that venture money to get traction
in each one of the stupid investments they made. Companies going
public before they had revenue or profits.

Dildos who ge their information exclusively from the right wing media
are bound to be rabidly misinformed.
