John, TPI's press release validates TPRO's market. Good for TPI, but better for TPRO. TPRO has more resources to draw on and a great deal more experience. Their software product is also far reaching. TPI's announcement can only be positive for TPRO and lends greater credibility to their potential market. Question: Who will TPI go to when their contract grows beyond them or when they can't handle all their clients needs? Their are only two years left, companies like TPI can only benefit by partnering with TPRO. They can use TPRO's CD to expedite the assesment work and subcotract to TPRO for additional already experienced engineers to train and lead their own staff.

John Hanzl, <I think that we ought not expect that Topro has sewn up the plant-floor market just yet!> TPII could be a very good company, for what it's PRIMARY business is. And, systems integration and embedded systems is NOT it's primary business. *How many alliances are left to cover most of the factory floors ... and utilities?* I'm not worried about TPII in the least. But, you made a good point ... the TPII PR release, how it's worded, DOES add to confusion. People who don't understand the business get confused. Do they have a CD? Who else have they formed alliances with thusfar? What *specifically* are they planning on doing, on the plant floor with embedded systems? ... use TPRO's CD? If you wanna talk about TPII, let's talk about it in the Clubhouse ... UNLESS they are actually a viable competitor. Right now, TPII is definitely NOT a TPRO competitor. I don't wanna go on the TPII thread to explain ... Cheryl
