CNN - TONY KEYES - GM - FORD TV SEGMENT
I think I figured out what caused so much interest.

CNN had a "Year 2000 automotive manufacturing segment", which was repeated several times during morning. Mom saw it in 3AM in OH. Cousin in PA saw it 7AM.

Maybe a 5 minute segment. GM 10-K disclosure probably precipitated this. Same info we read in WSJ 2 days ago.

Visuals were of the inside of an automotive plant. Showed engines on assembly line. Said something to the effect, that if components are not fixed ... these engines won't ship.

Tony Keyes talked about supply chain concerns. Said Ford contacted suppliers. Told them that they have to prove that they will be Y2K compliant ... or they will be cut off!

WORD'S GETTING OUT!!!

Can't believe that NONE of us saw or heard about this.

My cousin's brother, who has wanted to buy TAVA (but just didn't have the money) ... saw the same show, scraped up some cash and bought TAVA that day. (He used to work on North Sea oil rigs.)
