In the C/net article that you posted to Mike Wynn (excerpted below with my comments) are statements that supposedly "downplay" the Y2k problem. In reading that self-same article, my take is a bit different. I read where and why TAVA is in such an enviable position now. XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX EXPERTS A recent survey conducted on the comp.software.year-2000 newsgroup asked 39 programmers, with an average of 17 years of work experience each, to rate the potential gravity of the problem on a scale from 1 [no problem at all] to 5 [total economic collapse]. The average response: "3.96". (hmmm, they rate it almost a "4". Sounds near total economic collapse to me) The bug will have little impact on vital systems. (that last statement makes little sense in that their experts rate the Y2k problem a "4") The Y2K bug is a real problem, it's a widespread problem, and it needs to be fixed. But most of society's vital organizations expect to have the critical portions of their systems repaired or replaced in time. (again, thanks to TAVA, SEEC, etc., et al.) POWER COMPANIES Pacific Gas & Electric is a major California power supplier that has been working on the millennium bug since 1995; the utility expects to be ready with its fix by the end of 1998. (Perhaps TAVA is not PG&E's solution provider, but it has already been shown that TAVA will probably be the "go to" company for major utility providers across the USA) XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX To be sure, the rest of the article goes into detail quoting qualified sources who indicate that the Y2k problem is solvable (and I'm sure it is); but again, the article only spoke of the United States. Its a big wide world out there, and as Jenkins mentioned in the last press release.... TAVA is establishing their international contacts even as we speak. We shall see what we shall see, biff
