Dear Viktor: Well, at this point, I consider it a plus for TPRO. Just because someone "internally" decides not to focus on the "imbedded systems" problem that doesnt make it go away. Seems to me if FLUOR isnt going to address it themselves they have no choice but to recommend those clients to TPRO. GO WITH NICEWONG--BE LONG! jdn There! How's THAT! haha

Viktor, There may be many underlying reasons why Fluor decided not to get too agressive with Y2K work, and the way this was presented on the conference call was one more example of smart TPRO management, IMHO. The wording was completely tactful and unoffensive. Fluor may still prove to be a good "friend" to have waiting in the wings, so no need to burn bridges. But I think your comment regarding slowness may have been a key variable. Big corporations typically move slowly with virtually every major decision....study/analyze/forecast/budget/up the organizational hierarchy/questions/down the org'l hierarchy, then do it all over again, until the window of opportunity may have disappeared. TPRO has proven their ability to be nimble through this entire exercise, at each bend in the road. I'm not sure that a company as big as Fluor could run at this pace. Hardrocker
