Man: It was a nasty joke for investors today who had dismissed Y2K as much ado about nothing. Shares of IBM plunged almost 20 per cent on unexpected news that the drop of the Y2K spending is having a big impact on big blue. The problem is businesses that paid IBM and other technology companies tens of billions of dollars last year to make sure their computer systems were ready for the year 2000 have now stopped spending, at least until sometime next year.
Woman: Many corporations say that they've bought their computers. They've switched their software, it's Y2K compliant. And they just don't want to touch that installation, they don't want to risk something going wrong after they worked so hard to make sure that everything is going to work.
Man: IBM is the most prominent casualty of the technology spending freeze, but others are suffering as well. On Monday shares of Lexmark International, a computer printing company, dropped 30 per cent. Purchases of new printers have been postponed until after the new millennium. Shares of Computer Horizons, which installs business software, have fallen more than 75 percent. Last year the company had its best year ever. What worries Wall Street now is how many other companies who think their businesses are fine will find their earnings decimated by the drop of Y2K spending. A company as big as IBM could underestimate the risk. others could also be fooled.

And its non-soda beverages include Minute Maid fruit juices, PowerAde sports drinks, and Nestea iced tea drinks.
Coca-Cola Company can trace its origin to 1886 when John Pemberton, an Atlanta pharmacist created a drink from carbonated water, cane sugar syrup, caffeine, and extracts of kola nuts and coca leaves. The drink was medicinal and refreshing. Pemberton's bookkeeper, Frank M. Robinson, suggested the name Coca-Cola. Together, they coined the drink's first slogan, "Delicious and Refreshing." The Coca-Cola Company was established in 1892. In 1893, Coca-Cola was registered as a patented trademark. In 1894 the first bottled Coke was produced. And by 1895, the drink was sold throughout the United States.
The year 1977 marked a new era for Coca-Cola Company, it began packaging Coke and other drinks in two-liter plastic bottles. The popularity of these large bottles grew over time, and their sales earned the company new profits.
Coca-Cola Enterprises Inc. was established in the year 1986, and in the next year, it was listed in the prestigious Dow Jones Industrial Averages index of stock market performance. Its stock is traded on the New York Stock Exchange.
Worldwide, Coca-Cola ranked first in soft drink sales, and the company earned almost 80 percent of its profits from international sales.
