Y2K HAS come and gone. No doubt it was a kick in the pants for many 
in this industry. The great economy combined with the fear of the 
uncertain to create gains of 10-50% among retailers and manufacturers 
in this industry.
 
But what about the coming season? Did Y2K "rob" sales from the 
future? Will the 2000/2001 season(s) be as strong as last year, or 
will we see an oversupply of product by manufacturers who think last 
years sales volume will continue.
 
Let's hear from all you silent types who've enjoyed this list, as 
well as the regulars. What's the outlook for the coming year and WHY?
