Briefing.Com, very sloppy business journalism........ <<<since TPRO sells their CD-ROM for only $2500, they just plain aren't going to be a huge player (from revenue perspective) in the Y2K market. (Even if they sell 10,000 CD-ROMS, it is only $25,000,000 in revenue over two years.) The CD-ROM may help them generate business from companies that decide to upgrade their factories, rather than remediate their current date code. But they won't take the Y2K world by storm with just a CD-ROM. TPRO failed our screen based on the failure to show four quarters of rising revenue and on current profitability.>> It would have been fine to just say that TAVA failed their screen based on the financials. And it would be fine to say that they don't think TAVA would "take the world by storm." Anyone can have an opinion. But to surperficially dismiss the CD-ROM as if it were an expensive "Greatest Hits of the Monkees" with the wrong pricing and an obvious lack of understanding of the total Y2K service package of which the CD-ROM is only a small physical part, is really very careless and unprofessional. One of the reasons I don't use CNBC, Briefing.Com or other "financial journalists" as a guide to investing is just such lack of care in crafting reports. The value is in the details. And their details are wrong. Zebra

TPRO failed our screen based on the failure to show four quarters of rising revenue and on current profitability. Looking and making judgements on the PAST, has always been the analyst problem That is why this guy will be buying TAVA at $20 when the earnings are clearly visable.

Let's see...$25 million for CD sales of which $24 million is pure profit. Gee only $1 per share for TAVA. On a $9 1/2 stock--I'll take it. Now you know why this guy writes for briefing.com. What a visionary! Roger

To all: Briefing com article is typical. They HATE y2k companies and will use any opportunity to misrepresent the facts etc. I was in contact with their editors many times months ago. Once I realized they will never say anything positive about the industry I gave up on them. Where in the devil did they come up with the $2,500 per cd-rom?? jdn
