Jack you #$%%^&(#@@#$%% it up. I was going to buy 4k shares on Monday around 13. Positive comments like this are unacceptable. Please CR enlighten the uninformed with your credentials, investing acumen, and "value" opinions. TAVA (and Y2K) is a hoax,don't you know? Good luck all longs, Brice PS BTW I'm 100% y2K!

Jack, It would be interesting to know where these 70 new employees are. Medeva Pharmaceuticals has expanded TAVA to the entire U.S. "and is beginning early remediation activity." Interesting wording. Is TAVA getting increasing work on the remediation side here? It's good to see the Beck deal bearing fruit so quickly. Hopefully these contracts will be completed successfully, to be followed by others soon. Chevron: if it goes well, we may have news by the end of May on more work. The potential for TAVA to parlay success at Chevron into more contracts within the oil industry is quite large if they can provide appropriate data. Refining and offshore exploration alone offer far reaching possibilities for TAVA's involvement. It's still early days, I admit. A couple of years ago, I did some research work for a barge firm in London which leases to the oil industry for offshore construction. I came away amazed at the size of the industry. I knew it was huge, but these companies seem to 'own the world', as I said at the time. The embedded systems problem must be massive within this industry. The follow-on from this deal should tell us much about whether or not the industry needs TAVA. But of course, as others have posted, we can't fight the market. If it tanks, TAVA will go with it. Cheers, Bond

The "additions" to press releases are proving more enlightening than the actual "news." January 29 PR was the Beck announcement. The "general update" added - "The company's Y2K business continues to grow broadly. The present client base stands at more than 30 with new additions including General Motors, Medeva Pharmaceuticals, Kraft Foods, TRW, Pillsbury, Occidental Petroleum, UNOCAL, Cargill, The U.S. Mint and others" In the March 5 KO announcement, Jenkins added: "At last count, TAVA was engaged with more than 60* clients representing over 400 sites in 14 different countries ranging from Eastern and Western Europe to Africa and the Pacific Rim."* That represents a 100% growth of client base in 36 days from 1/29 - 3/5!! That would be a decent PR release all by itself. Now, after 43 more days, we have added: Chevron, J&J, Amgen, Genencor, and "several engagements" from the Beck alliance. Next month's conference call could be very exciting! TAVA is growing by leaps and bounds, and imo, many of these new Fortune 500 companies are going to be so grateful to TAVA for pulling their Y2K chestnuts from the fire that they will be staying on as core business clients far beyond year 2000. Visualize blowout earnings. <g>

lets take profits for just the bristol myers contract: 125 sites at $20000 per CD= $2,500,000 profit margin is .85 so profit is $2,125,000 divided by # of shares around 25 mil(?) equals 8.5 cents per share for this one contract without the cost of inventory and assessment engineers last cost was around $150 per hour so how much $$$ do you all think tava makes from this one global roll out. does anyone have any revenue estimates? samir
