MW: Perhaps Joe is asleep right now. Let me take a stab at it. 1) Why do you think Y2K assessment and remediation work is more profitable than regular factory automation work? Supply and demand. The y2k work MUST BE DONE, by a deadline that is quite clear. No other company is offering a comprehensive (I'm not saying high-tech, just comprehensive) methodology for it. Other projects can be put off. Companies that finally wake up to their y2k embedded chip problems will be willing to pay for the head start the TAVA program--with its valuable database--promises.

2) Why is that for a long time, TPRO has not won any contract for regular factory automation work? You are a lazy sonofabitch, MW. From the Nov CC: "The other key thing that I want to emphasize is I know that many of you are interested in our organization because we do have a base business that the Y2K both fits on top of as we speak and also supports over the long term. I think the numbers that we're showing here indicate that we continue to pay attention to and be successful in execution of our base business. I will say that in the course of the last couple of weeks, we've received in excess of $6MM worth or orders in our base business, including a large order in Chicago that we're very proud of as demonstrating the synergy of putting together this organization. The order in Chicago was Chicago sales office presence coupled with technology that's actually resident in Denver. So its a good proof of concept for us and we're really excited about it." Wade

3) Could you identify the area of expertise for TPRO in Y2K work? No. Get off your duff and find out yourself. Wade

5) How much cash does TPRO have at the moment and how long can it survive without more PP if contracts are not signed quick enough? They had 1 million bucks as of Nov 15. Then they raised about 5 million more in the PP. The warrants should provide what?--a few million more (someone help me out here)--assuming a stock price over 6 3/8 for 16 or 17 more trading days (I've lost track). Wade

6) How could TPRO find the resources to manage the business for dozens of F500 companies that TPRO is currently "engaged" with as the company has claimed? By guiding said companies through the assessment and planning stages, with the use of tools (where the margins are the highest), and leaving the y2k grunt work to appropriate people employed by said companies.

7) If the Y2K problems in embedded systems are for real and they are very complex and time consuming to fix, why so far there is no company that has yet granted any remediation contract? Because its real and very complex and they haven't gotten to the remediation phase yet. Thanks for answering your own question. Wade

8) Why is Wonderware late in shipping the CD if it is such a hot item? Why do I waste my time with you? Wonderware is late with ITS OWN PRODUCT. Can you grasp that? The TAVA CD was always intended to be bundled with--as an adjunct--to FactorySuite 2000. Wonderware's primary concern is its own product, naturally, and like may software companies, WNDR is late in delivering it. Question to you: Why has Wonderware, which you previously acknowledged as having an excellent rep in the factory floor automation software business, aligned itself with TAVA in this very transparent fashion? Hmmmm? Wade
