Uncle Sam wants... - test-drb@ccmp.vtda.org

Well, if you want a job in computers, then you'll have to get used to it....

    Think LCD dipslays.  Big, numeric ones.  Kinda like trying to add
999999999+1 on a 8-digit calculator.

What do you mean? I'm not too familiar with stocks, so I don't have
any idea what Dow Jones IS, never mind where and how it's displayed.

 By the way, I heard that there was also a computer issue with
 Dow Jones hitting 10K. Are there any more similar limitations that
 will soon be reached? 
The Dow Jones hitting five digits is a problem in the display
department, not the calculation department.
