Wade, < I can only write "seems" because I have not seen it myself.> I know you already see the big picture, but for others who don't ... CD? Seen it? I have. It's EXCEPTIONAL. Very comprehensive. Easy to use. I have the actual intro CD. I charmed a group of engineers - talked dirty - "Embedded Systems" ... "Time Dilation" ... RTC's. Got their attention. But, in my case ... I do see this CD and database as "magical". Because of the ease of use AND, most importantly, the time-frame. A concrete deadline, with no flexibility. John Mansfield is right on target there. I've been doing some research over the past week for a certain vertical market - documenting test results and manufacturers responses. As I searched ... and searched ... and searched ... and read thru all the info, in every format possible ... I thought "My gd - they need a CD like TAVA's". It's interesting what many manufacturers do when they respond back. They start out saying that they ARE "Year 2000" compliant, thank you for your request, blah blah blah. THEN* ... you have to read thru all these reports that say "See Note 1", "See Note 2", "See Notes 3 & 4", "Except for serial number XXXX". Often times, when they say they are Year 2000 compliant, but ONLY if you do certain things at different times and different places. Even at this point, manufacturer's notes DON'T cut it. You still have to see where it's inter-related, and how it can affect something else. MORE TESTS. MORE NOTES. TAVA's CD is concise and straight forward. To me, this IS magical. I programmed. Granted it was only on Paradox. But, when push comes to shove ... what you're doing is applying logical arguments ... whatever language you're using. This stuff is FAR more complex. It doesn't take one person sitting at a keyboard making changes for many - like software is developed and/or remediated. Granted, I'm simplifying here - but you programmers know what I'm talking about. This stuff on factory floors and process control requires MANY people with various skills ... from different areas ... inside AND outside a company - Company people ... manufacturers ... system integrators ... hardware people ... software people. While there are legions of programmers remediating software ... there are FAR fewer engineers and trained plant floor personnel. From what I've seen, CD is the most expeditious and cost efficient way to go in assessment. Won't solve your problems. Work still has to be done. But, it's sure a lot easier than hiring a staff to send out requests to manufacturers, wait for response back and then put the info together in a meaningful cohesive format ... yourself ... versus jump-starting with TAVA's proven methodology. For all of you who are gonna jump on TAVA not having enough engineers. Give me a break. TAVA's hiring as fast as they can. They want quality, not just quantity. Engineers who can manage programs. Too much to do, in too little time. And what better way to propel growth beyond 2000? I'm sorry, but I look at the BIG picture. This nickle and dime stuff bores me.
