Charlie Boy, I'm amazed at some of the things you have come up with in your short visit to this thread, you stated:
"I would never want to be a party pooper, but remember half of the world's mainframes (the market ALYD addresses in the main) are in North America, and 80% of the balance are in Europe (if you excuse those that IBM sold into China which probably will not feature too highly in the Y2K debate as they have been mainly mothballed for years)."
Party pooper, give me a break. I think we can all agree the report of 300 to 600 billion dollars worldwide is at least a fair number for correcting the problem.
Based on the statement above I really wonder where you're coming from. Are you shorting Alydaar with Pancho?
Let's see, if we take $600,000,000,000 and multiply it by .2 we come up with $120,000,000,000. That eliminates the 80% in North America, correct? Now take the $120,000,000,000 and do the same. Multiply it by .2 to eliminate Europe, and we come up with $24,000,000,000. Correct? Now you're still with me I hope, I know these are big party pooping numbers.
If Alydaar could only get 5% of the residual business it represents $1,200,000,000 and it only 2.5 % it represents $600,000,000. Let's take the small side of this party pooping numbers and use $300,000,000,000 worldwide and cut the numbers into half and we get $600,000,000 and $300,000,000 respectively. Just 1% could represent either $120,000,000 or $60,000,000. And this is not even in North America or Europe. Now thats party pooping.
Consider this party pooping number. If Alydaar, a leading player in the year 2000 code remediation service could get JUST 2% of the revenue then Alydaar will be a tremendous success. Based on the WORLDWIDE numbers of 300 to 600 billion dollars, it's possible to generate 600 million to $1,200,000,000. PARTY POOPING dollars in revenue. I'm not hyping Alydaar, I'm just showing a few party pooping numbers.
These amounts seem to represent enough revenue to be present in other countries. Before you poop the party completely though we need to consider that there is chance that Alydaar might generate some revenue in North America and Europe. Now we're talking big revenue.
To most people or corporations these are BIG party pooping numbers
Oh that's right it's probably only change to you because you the one who spouted off about paying TRUTH's salary. I can't believe you said that. You have no idea whom he is or what he makes. I do, and the joke is on you.
Now, please accept my apologies for the above statement, and let's continue on respectfully with no personal attacks.
To summarize all that is said in the above, I think such insignificance numbers have ruined my weekend. <gggg>
See you later CHAP,
