Hi Dallas,

According to this week's Kiplinger Washington Letter, Y2K is expected to
generate a new legal industry, with specialist attorneys earning $1,000
per hour and up while pursuing damage awards (no kidding; the KWL is
highly acclaimed, and there's talk of legislation to _cap_ attorney fees
at $1,000 per hour!)

And, of course, those attorneys will need to hire Y2K specialists to
research the problems and bolster their cases ...

See "The Kiplinger Washington Letter", Feb 19 1999 p. 2.
