crp?? It's not perfect, but I'm pleased with it, and how 'bout that headline? Bristol-Meyers Squibb Company Engages Topro, Inc. in Worldwide Year 2000 Project Worldwide!! Here's a better quote to focus on. "Our relationship with TAVA is an important step in addressing our Non-Information Technology systems around the world."* Bristol-Myers Squibb, a big multinational says TAVA is for real!! My 2› worth; I think the PR dept is improving. [Remember those headlines in November which didn't even say Topro?]

Viktor, this is the email I just sent to Scott. In advance, if I missed an issue, I apologize, but I think it covers the questions I had. As soon as I get a response, I'll post. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX Scott, There has been discussion on line about the wording of the press release. Specifically, the mention of the 28 million revenue figure for the 1st half of '98 has raised a lot of confusion. Can you tell us exactly what that figure represents. Is is core business alone or does it also include y2k remediation work as well (including the Bristol contract). Secondly, some of us beleive that the press release was unnecessarily vague in describing the special niche of the market that TPRO controls. Specifically, since "embedded systems" is TPRO's bread and butter specialty, and is what differentiates TPRO from other Y2k software and code providers, we were curious if that trump card of ours couldn't be more prominently displayed in future press releases. For example, the Technology Director of Unilever recently said (thanx C.K.) that the costs of tackling the Y2k bug were soaring because of the scale of the problem ..... particularly concerning so-called "embedded" chips - microchips installed deep in manufacturing equipment and computer systems whose software has to be checked line by line and, if necessary, rewritten. Anderson said: "The challenge isn't because it is intellectually difficult, but because there are just billions of things to be done. It's the sheer scale of the task and the relatively small number of people in the world qualified to do the work. (read TPRO [my emphasis])" Shouldn't TPRO be identifying itself as one of few "embedded systems" solution providers that exist in the world? A couple of extra sentences should do the trick and would brand TPRO as THE place to call for this specific service. Any thoughts? As usual, I will post your response to the different boards..... As always, thanks for your help and consideration, David
