Additional positive comments Like many of you I am in this stock since the 3's. Unlike most, I deal with Y2K everyday as I am a COBOL programmer working in a Y2K remediation factory in upstate NY for a company that everybody has heard of but is not talked about much on these Y2K threads. As an aside, are you listening CR, let me tell you how real this problem is. I am currently assigned to a major brokerage house (read Fortune 100) and working on part of their code that deals with 100 year bonds. Its a bitc..... and that is just a pimple on the elephants but in terms of the work that has to be done to make their systems complaint. . Anyhow onto the TAVA news. I got tagged last week to help evaluate a PC based remediation package from ........ A nice package. The head techie, sales support dude and I were chatting at lunch and TAVA came up. The guy, who has been working on Y2K since 96 and really knowledgeable about the problem, loves TAVA, thinks the CD is dynamite and that TAVA has a lock on the market. So I consider that a real positive from someone with a lot of experience and a generally intelligent person to boot. Now obviously his product and TAVA's dont play in the same arena so he could afford to be enthusiastic. I am sure he would not have said the same about another COBOL remediation tool vendor. But again, he knows the problem, he meets with companies everyday throughout North America and Europe and he was truly positive about TAVA - mostly from a technical standpoint. As a final thought, the guy was also astounded by the lack of awareness and commitment to the problem by many of the companies he talks to. God knows what those managers are thinking. Marshall
