Gentlemen (and ladies) Start Your Calculators !!!

So the pricing is: ..$2000..Search Engine ..$4000..Per Seat ..$5000..Data Base Access ....$200..per Vendor Compliance Report Please confirm if this structure is correct? 2) Does the above pricing include any significant TAVA engineer time? 3) What is the Definition of a "Seat"? 4) Are any of the above fees foregone by TAVA in the Wonderware distribution? (Of course I am aware that not all who receive a disk have any obligation to pay TAVA, unless they want to proceed in the evaluation process) Many Thanks again Zebra Scott Liolios (TPRO Investor Relations) Replies: Dear Zebra, The pricing structure you outlined is a good estimate of the revenue associated with the CD. The pricing is always subject to change, but you do have it correct. This pricing does not include any engineering time from the TAVA engineers. To answer your question (what is a seat?):. The way it has been explained to me is that a company may purchase the C.D. but that does not give them the right to use the CD throughout the organization. Each location the CD is used, the company must pay additional seat charges. You may be able to find a more detailed explanation from an industry expert. I understand seat charges are very common throughout the software industry. And to answer your last question: In the situation as you outlined there would be no fees going to Wonderware. The revenue generated all goes to Topro. Cordially, Scott Liolios I've got to get a bigger calculator !! <gg> Zebra

TokyoMex-- I predicted that it would take about 6 months to get things on a roll---that was right before Thanksgiving. I'm going to stick with that timeframe. We have the shareholders meeting coming up and many things in the works, some that I'm sure we don't know about. I learned about patience when I lost it with my other stocks and watched them go through the roof after I sold. Remember our motto "time is on our side". We have a company that is on the verge of bringing in tremendous revenues and growing their core business at the same time---what more could you ask for a groundfloor opportunity? Jan
