Tom, I know that people will sooner or later respond to my posts. Why? Not because I am a genius or anything but I am one among a few who can initiate and carry some meaningful debates on this thread rather than the rah-rah and yahoo-search-copy-paste posts that you see daily on this thread. You guys/gals can call for boycotting my posts, it doesn't matter. I have the capacity to carry on a monologue, actually not quite a monologue because people are reading my posts without wanting to admit it. I can check that out by throwing in a couple of controversial posts and people will jump in for a chance to respond very quickly. You guys/gals keep saying that my posts are BS but I can tell that you guys/gals are all shaken by a single guy like me. Why? Because you folk are investing in a hot air balloon and you folk would be scared of a simple needle, and my posts carry simple message and meaningful analysis in English, not some copy-and-paste articles from somewhere. I like also the post that blamed me for the drop in TPRO stock price. Wow, I wish I am that powerful. Back to your question about remediating mainframe code, yes technically you can crank out 1000 LOC per hour if you have a good tool that searches for the suspected code and bring it up into a window. The programmer would then decide whether the code needs to be fixed or not and then what kind of fix needs to be made. The Y2K tool put out by CA yesterday will speed up the remediation process even more. Just think logically this way. Companies have million of code to remediate, if a programmer can only crank out a few lines per hour, how could the job be done by year 2000? Oh yes, you need testing also after the remediation is done. You can't do that with embedded code. So why is TPRO in the Y2K business before they can make money doing simple factory automation work? You can't run before you can walk, isn't it? Is it because Y2K is a hot term now, and management wants to bail out whenever the stock starts trading on the NAZ? Can someone explain about the new Reg S shares that are issued recently? This company only has 1 million bucks left in the bank. That's not a lot of money to carry on business for too long if sales do not pick up. Look out for more secondaries and Reg. S in the future. I heard that mainframe programmers get paid anywhere from $20 per hour to $60 per hour for Y2K work. I think the pay depends on the type of work.
