As we near the year 2000 and go beyond this new millennia.  The need for Year 2000 or Y2K compliant business and home software will become somewhat of an emergency.  Because of this fact, many many businesses and home computer users will turn to software companies that provide this software rather than rewriting the software they already have.
Investing in these software companies that sell year 2000 or Y2K compliant software would seem to be a wise choice.  One software company, SAP, has been making year 2000 or Y2K compliant software since 1992.  This might be a good bet for your investment dollar.

In the old days before unleaded gas, cars needed lead to fill in the scars of the engine with lead and keep it like new.  These days the cars are engineered for gas without lead but they still need something to fill in the scars or the engine.  Non lead additives have been around for over 10 years and they are being used more and more.  Investing  in companies that make these additives may well be a good, if not "strange" choice.
