>>To have a concern that there is not enough workers is exactly the beauty of this situation. The hourly rates will go up and the BMY contract will land TPRO many more worldwide contracts<<

Agree 100%. The true scale we are talking about here just became a reality for me. Appreciate your analysis of the consolidation and wage factors. Makes sense that they will be able to command higher prices and lure the best engineers. Also makes sense that others will feel pressured to sign up sooner and that TPRO will have more leverage in using names when making announcements.

Just one question about the 28M mentioned in the release since I have seen several interpretations.It is somewhat ambiguous:

" In addition, our base business remains strong. Total new orders in the company's first half are forecast to exceed $28 million."

Are we talking TOTAL new orders in for the company in the 1st half, INCLUDING Y2K? It would seem that YK2 orders alone would exceed 28M. Of course this is on top of the old orders. Can anyone provide some clarity here? Would this include all expected contracts? Of course they are probably estimating conservatively.

This is where Wonderware comes into play, they are currently certifying 1000 engineers to do y2k work, in conjunction with distributing Topros CD---possibly some of this can be done through a licensing agreement. Jan
