I think I have a good analogy for the TAVA advantage. Yes, there are competitors like Raytheon, to name one. And yes, embedded chips can be remediated by in-house people, if you've got the time and manpower. Remember those old Christmas light sets, where they were wired in series? And if one bulb burned out, the only way to fix it was to manually remove each bulb and replace it with one you knew was good, until the whole thing lit up again? Well this is the embedded chip problem, and the trouble is that the bulb hasn't burned out yet, and, although only a few bulbs are bad, we don't know which ones will fail. And it's an old string of lights and we've bought bulbs from many different vendors over the years. Everybody has a tester, and some have the names of old vendors who can tell them which bulbs are faulty. But MOST DON'T. That is the beauty of the TAVA CD and Database, they can tell you which bulbs are absolutely safe, which ones will fail, and which ones have to be manually tested to decide whether or not to replace them. The bulbs are not expensive, but you don't want to just replace them all because you are keeping the light string on all year 'round now, it's your only source of light. So call Raytheon and they will send someone over to test your bulbs, one at a time. You can expect to spend some time in the dark. Call that competition? Zebra
