All -- I received the following response to an email question I sent to Scott the other day. I think it clearly states what the company views as the *story* for its future. imho, y2k is a means, not an ends for them.
Sure, there is a chance for a short term play on a y2k bounce, or perhaps plenty of opportunity for brahmin trader types to spin wealth from daily fluctuations, ........but the long term view has a different focus.
Is system integration work a viable niche for TAVA's future, and can Y2K work help create future business/revenues for TAVA in this area?
===========
Hello Jack,
Thank you for interest in TAVA. In looking at the possibilities for the
company, I guess anything is possible, however I do not believe training and
franchising is the focus of the company. If it were to happen, I assume
there is opportunity for downstream revenues. But please remember the big
picture is to capitalize on the Y2K to leverage into the core integration
business.
I hope this helps, and please contact me for clarification.
