Amazing how I can completely misread both the OP's post and your reply.
Sorry about that.

OP asked about contributing.
In 2006 for single, $95K - Full contribution, $110K - No contribution
In 2007 for single, $99K - Full contribution, $114K - No contribution

The range is scaled, so in 06, for example, at $102.5K, one can
contribute half what they otherwise could. $4K for under 50, $5K if 50
or over during the year for the deposit.

Note that the $100,000 limit is for conversions and not contributions.
You can continue to contribute to a Roth IRA up to $160,000 if married,
filing jointly ($110,000 if single), although the maximum amount
declines if you are over $150,000 ($95,000 if single).

You can also contribute to a deductible traditional IRA instead of a
Roth subject to income, marital status, and employer-sponsored
retirement plan limitations. See IRS Pub. 590.

The investments already there grow as usual, no impact.
You can still start a non-deductable regular IRA, and convert in a
future year when your income is below the conversion threshold.
The cap is based on MAGI (modified adjusted gross income).
See http://www.fairmark.com/rothira/phaseout.htm for more details,
complete explanation.

Default What happens to Roth IRAs after $99K income level?

Single taxpayers with a modified adjusted gross income above $99,000
can't continue to contribute from what I have read. What happens to
the investments put into the Roth IRA after that point? Do they sit
there and continue to grow until withdrawn at age 59 & 1/2?

Can another IRA type be started in parallel with the Roth IRA that no
longer accepts contributions?

Does that $99K cap come from all sources of income, including dividend
payouts, or only from wages?
