Here you go CK, about the alliance with PacifiCorp. Poof, it's gone. This company (TPRO) has the custom of prematurely announcing alliance and pilot project before the ink is dried and money starts to flow in for sure. Aren't they afraid of competition by announcing who they are currently talking with? =========================== From transcript of conference call: Q: Do you have a play in utilities? (TPRO has a significant history with municipal water and waste treatment systems) A: PacifiCorp, our alliance there is building momentum. We actually, I believe have received a project that we worked with PacifiCorp on that's in the range of $600K or $700K. That's our first major success with that organization. And that continues to build momentum. We had originally talked with PacifiCorp about developing taking PlantY2KOne and modifying it into a "Utility Y2KOne". For a lot of reasons, primarily their size and they view this as "an only 2 year opportunity", we're not going to do that with them. We've replaced them with another subject matter expert to bring into that. So that still is a very live and aggressively viable opportunity. You said: Whoops ... you sure about that? Then why did PacifiCorp Energy Services form a marketing alliance with TPRO (July '97) to offer products and services to electric utilities to optimize automation and information systems in substations and distribution facilities?
