IBM's   report for  dismissal earning for the next TWO Quarters has driven the NY Stock market down severely as well as the price of IBM stock.

IBM announced claim is Y2K  Freeze and  prior  equipment purchases  to support Y2K will be the cause in martkets other than PC.

Question is will  or how might this affect the MIS staffs?
and job  market for  "00"
