If my math is correct, then this contract is in excess of $ 20,000,000++. A BIGGY!!!!!!!!! Here's to more great news.

I know it's disloyal, but my mantra has been don't go up until I raise some more cash, don't go up until... so I myself am kind of distressed. I was certain it wasn't an "if", it was only a "when." When it broke 5, I thought of robbing a bank...

This contract is a major >validation of Topro's solution to Year 2000 problems in embedded chips.<< No question the contract is a major validation. Perhaps you or someone can explain to me how TPRO can handle 1/10 of the work it is capable of contracting. If BMY can employ 60 of TPRO's consulting engineers full time for 2 years and TPRO has a total of 350 employees, I don't see how they will be able to do even a small part of the work that should be coming their way. Let's say that over the next 9 months they sign another 20 or 30 contracts similar to this one. Can they handle this work through franchises or contracting that work out to others? Can they maintain quality control that way. If I remember we are talking about 70-100k sites in the US alone. Now international sites have entered the picture. Can somebody help me here? Thanks, guys.
