Wow, I see something like 20 posts addressed to me today, 18 out of 20 contain at least some personal attacks or accusations. Then I am totally confused about this TPRO. OK, I always have the impression that TPRO claimed that they are into code remediation for embedded systems. The messages I got back in general are 1) No, they are just factory integrators, not code remediation *** 2) they never claimed or hyped that their primary business is in Y2K, *** 3) people seem to believe in Jaeger and Yardeni because they are mainframe experts.

(*** As Cheryl pointed it out, they are in alliance with PacifiCorp to do the marketting for automation solution to utility companies - it seems to me like TPRO is taking the role of marketting. Somebody else also pointed it out that the CEO Jenkins has stated they still have a lot to learn about the utility industry).

So my conclusions are:
- I don't know enough about this TPRO to make a case about it. May be the company itself is not guilty of hyping but the people on this board are. I saw posts flying left and right on the Boeing (BA), Citrix (CTXS), Sandisk (SNDK), and few others I forgot, about TPRO getting into the Y2K code remediation for embedded systems. If that's not true, then I have nothing more to say.
- I said that code remediation in embedded systems, if there are any needs, is next to impossible. I tried to give a few technical explanations but the messages I got back are that I tried to bluff people to scare them, so I also rest my case on this technical aspect.
- I am accused of having a motive even though I already stated that I have absolutly no interest in this stock, and it's only the hypes from this board that bother me. It's very clear to me that a lot of people on this board are trying to hype this stock (that it will go to 20 - LOL) on the premise that this company will do code remediation for all the embedded systems in trouble. I also read through some messages that some folks seem to put all their life savings into this stock for a get-rich-quick scheme. I hope those folks will come back to their sense. It's OK to invest in this stock with your play money but not your life savings. This stock is clearly hyped - I said stocks, not company - that's the main message I tried to convey.
- It's clear also that the majority if not all, wished me to go away, and nobody believes that any of my statements has any substance. For that, I will leave you guys/gals alone as I have better things to do in life. Like I said, it's your money, not mine. I may come from time to time if I get bothered too much by the hype, but most of the part, I won't waste more of my time here. I am not running away though, if any of you have more issues, feel free to e-mail to me.

For that, I wish all of you a Happy New Year. I cannot wish you all a Prosperous New Year, just hope that you don't get burned.
