I had already figured on 'privately-held' when I began digging. I wasn't expecting 'hermitly-held'. Not that one should read too much into this, but heck, getting info has never proven so difficult. One can get info on smaller, 'more privately-held' companies like tiny-but-mighty Insurance Software Solutions, without too much difficulty. Or taking the case of Magnetic Diary, their 'company' status would be considered obscure if not downright ambiguous&#151but you can learn about various CD-ROM and web projects they've done with SyQuest, Apple, Amdahl, etc&#133 if you look in the appropriate dusty corners. Interesting that I can learn about &#147The Facade of the Colleoni Chapel&#148, and &#147Pittori in Bottega&#148 with a fraction of the effort required to learn *nothing* about either Veronex or VentureTech&#151who are supposedly at the pinnacle's edge of Y2K technology with important I/NOVA tools, doing important stuff in the Y2K sector. Maybe it's all just a great marketing ploy bringing to mind the commercial tagline: &#147The company nobody talks about&#148. The sector, itself, has recognition problems. Landing clients as a faceless unknown, from a sector which is taken only somewhat seriously has got to be a major PR challenge. It will take somebody with a Senator's charm and charisma. Aside from you, TED, and Jeff, few others fit this description. It's definitely not me. <gg> An interesting note: if one sets search parameters too broad, in addition to the Italian masters you also get Chapter 8 of Xena Kore: &#147What do you think that was in the pastry shell?&#148 Janice asks. -MrB
