All -- As someone who posted several times on FAA news reported in the NY Times, I just want to repeat what I said in my first post ---- I found the FAA situation interesting not because it was going to create revenues for TAVA, but because it showed that the y2k threat was prehaps more real and far reachhing than those who were dismissing it as hype and worrymongering would have us believe. If that is the case with the FAA, then it can perhaps be a bit more reasonable to assume that the embedded chip problem is more of a potential threat than has been widley reported.

Secondly, the longer term question I see for TAVA is whether or not y2k business can be leveraged into longer term revenues for TAVA as a SI company.

Is subing out SI work a growing trend in industry?
Is TAVA correctly positioned to grow into a (the?) company who can earn substantial revenues from it?
If so, what type of future stock price might the earnings support, and how much of a premium is the market wiling to pay for that future growth, today?

An introductory Psych 101 course generally covers the basics of propoganda. Two of the most common forms of it are the "Strawman" and "Red Herrings". We have posters on this thread who continually lead many here around by their noses using these simple , disceptive, yet effective techniques.

there is no way they will buy back shares - they need all the money they have to finance growth of Y2k business

While a share buyback is unlikely, there may be redemption privileges in the 9% cv pfd. If so, retiring the pfd. would save TPRO 9%, and other uses of the cash would have to be weighed against the current and future effects of clearing up some 9% debt. Such a use of cash could be justified, and would send a positive signal to investors. But lets get the cash in the till first.
