Mike, I've been following your comments with some interest ever since you stated out here that you were involved in programming embedded chip systems. My question to you is, given that you are an expert, how would you present the entire issue of Y2K to your CIO, CEO if you were a Y2K project manager??? I seem to sense that you believe there is will be very little problem and that it should not be a concern that there may be a impact on either corporate earnings or operations. So my questions to you are aimed at better understanding your position on the entire embedded chip issue from a business angle. 1. Would you be willing to tell your corporate leadership that they can rest assured that they will suffer little ill effect from an embedded systems failure in 1999-2000?? 2. Would you be willing to bet your Y2K manager's bonus on the belief that your company will suffer little impact from embedded chip failures?? 3. If you, in fact, <d>do feel that there exists a risk, great or small, what steps would you take on a corporation wide basis to ensure that all systems are compliant??? 4. Do you have any reason to believe that all embedded chip Y2K issues can be completely resolved using in-house resources??? 5. What are your reasons, in sum, that you feel TPRO will not be able to emerge as a profitable company long-term and achieve at least a low double digit stock price??? Rather than just call us a bunch of hypsters out here, please inform us as to exactly how you would handle a Y2K project for assessing and resolving Y2K embedded systems in a manner that would provide confidence to corporate leardership and stake holders.
