As promised, here is the response to my question to Scott Liolios. Hello Rob, Thank you for your interest in TAVA. I am not sure of the exact number of clients they are doing remediation for, but at last count it was three. You probably will not see the large ramp up in revenues due to remediation until approx. June. What you want to see is the company getting as many I&A (Inventory & Assessment) as possibly. They have high margins, it increases company exposure and it somewhat locks in future revenues. As far you chip question: The answer is it depends. Every issue is different and unlike in the business side of Y2K there is not millions of lines of code. The problem is less deep and more broad. I hope this helps. Thank you for your support. J. Scott Liolios > Dear Mr. Liolios, > > I am shareholder of Tava (and currently a happy one based on the > movement of the stock price).
