Steve, Excellent idea! I suggest you send your suggestion to the company or have someone carry the message to the SHM. Hopefully, the company will let us know what's going on? We, as shareholders, are part of only a handful of people who understand the magnitude of the problem. Think of all the Mike Winn's in the industry who are still in denial. We are gaining momentum but it sure would be nice to either increase the size of the ball or its speed. Stu

Steve, I agree that the TAVA name needs to get broader (any?) recognition. However, as I recently posted, I think that there is a deliberate information hold happening right now because the co. is still called Topro. If TAVA is managed like I expect it is then I plan to see the following strategy utilized... T-Minus Ten (Now): Information Blackout T-Minus Zero (Jan 29th): SHM - Announce new name (TAVA) - Reveal major contract announcements (as TAVA) - Announce NMS status (calling all brokerages!) - Announce UtilityY2KOne (?) (Liftoff!) T-Plus Ten: Steady pace of press releases to keep momentum going T-Plus Feb: 2Q Financials (positive earnings!) (Second stage disconnect - momentum gaining) T-Plus 3Q98: 3Q Financials (OH-MY-GOD!) (We have broken away from Earth's gravity and are headed for the stars!) Well, anyway, what I am trying to say is...let's wait just a little bit longer, OK? However, I couldn't agree with you more regarding television (I am in the business also) Not to drum up more business - I am not really worried about that - but to bring the name TAVA to a broader range of future investors...

Steve, <and the news media (which to date has consistently missed the mark re: embedded). I think they could and should be doing more. If they want to make things happen NOW, one avenue they shouldconsider is an advertising schedule on cable TV (very affordable), specifically CNN, CNNFN, CNBC, etc.> I agree with much of your post. However, I'd hold off on approaching TAVA at this point in time. Tony Keyes is already working with the Oprah producers, who are interested in taking the Y2K issue further. I've already emailed Tony the link for the SI Year 2000 Embedded Systems thread. His goal is to get an hour devoted to the issue, so that a group of specialists can discuss the full ramifications. Tony considers me a "specialist" <wink> He's also dogging the Larry King show, GMA and others. I developed the Embedded System thread specifically to educate the public and media. I would appreciate people posting links and summaries of relevant articles or info. I can't do it all myself. Remember guys. These things take time. Don't plan on seeing a Y2K Ophrah show in the next few weeks! HERE'S THE DIRECT LINK TO "YEAR 2000 EMBEDDED SYSTEMS" THREAD: Subject 18990 Thanks, Cheryl Lurkers: If you have something you'd like to contribute to Embedded System thread, email me at: Quest@hypercon.com
