Grammatical ambiguity... I think we can agree that the amended news about 28 million in backlog is gramatically ambiguous. I am inclined to see the 28 million linked to the sentence before it, which discusses the base business. But Wade presents an equally compelling argument that the 28 million backlog is an integration of the entire paragraph. There is a logical reason to assume the 28 million refers to base business only: It is consistent with past growth in the base business. DocStone

"costs of tackling the bug were soaring" Wow...wonder how many more companies are going to have to say the same thing. Looks like the realization of this "bug/problem" just keeps getting bigger and bigger. What a BONANZA for TPRO! Tim

As a Tpro investor since early April let me start by saying thanks for all the wonderful info you have provided. With all the other post I seldom find the desire to respond or post notes, however, I wanted to continue with the Unilever issue. The food industry appears to just now be considering their problems and options as it relates to the y2k problem. With automated facilites and warehouses this is going to be a major problem. From code dating product(sell by dates), just in time inventory control, and automatic replenishment, all of these can be disrupted. In more and more trade journals you see "the major players" budgeting for the y2k problem. Retailers seem to have addressed this problem earlier and are now pushing their vendors. I believe the BMY annoucement is just the beginning of a long list of new clients for our TPRO. Thanks again for all your hard work on this site.
