I'd take that buying op at this time if it happens (know a lot of others - family & friends who are waiting for that op as well) Eric

To all, Anybody own an Eagle Talon built from 1989-1994? You may want to sell it real quick or get a Y2K fix. Subject: Eagle Talon ECU has y2k bug From: jeffw@shore.net (Jeff Wasilko) Date: 1998/04/16 Message-ID: <6h6bkk$3n2@shell2.shore.net> Newsgroups: comp.software.year-2000 [Subscribe to comp.software.year-2000] [More Headers] From the RISKS digest: I'm on a mailing list related to Eagle Talons/Mitsubishi Eclipses/Galant VR4's anyway, it seems the code in the ECU's for the 1st generation of those cars (1990-1994) has an interesting problem with Y2K compliance. The following excerpt was written by Todd Day <today at dsm dot org> who is the list moderator, and ECU (Engine Control Unit, aka car computer) wizard. [All you guys with 1989-1994 DSMs might want to take another car to the parties on Y2K eve... or arrange for a tow truck. 1995-98 ECUs seem to be Y2K compliant, as far as I can tell (an OBDII requirement). If you don't want to be seen at the party without your DSM, for $100, I can fix your ECU so the overflow problem won't happen until 2089. I've set my ECU to the bewitching hour, and the results aren't pretty. The overflow causes a mask bit to be set which prevents the spark plug in cylinder 3 from firing, but doesn't stop the fuel flow. The fuel flow in that cylinder actually doubles due to a side-effect of the spark bug. This creates some pretty spectacular backfires, I must say... One hell of a way to welcome in the new century. Oh yeah - this bug happens at December 31st, 1999 at midnight (or January 1st, 2000, depending on how you look at it) in the CENTRAL time zone. That's because the cars were all built in Illinois. So for you East Coasters, it will occur at 1am, and West Coasters will experience it at 10pm. -talon mgr] x8.dejanews.com@news%3e%231/1 This is a pretty cool Y2K embedded bug site auto2000.ndirect.co.uk Regards to all - Future profits will be ours, Brian

JDN, >>Dont like the sound of H.I. earnings reduction<< You probably should... how about TAVA coming in at TWICE analysts expectations? Seems plausible to me. Patrick.

A revision to an estimate this close to an earnings report would smack of insider knowledge, especially since (1) they are basically the only house issuing a report and (2) the only news to come out from the company has been good if not great. There is no valid reason for a downgrade at this time. Sounds to me like it is an unfounded rumor spread by someone who got caught short.

>>>Dont like the sound of H.I. earnings reduction. Sounds to me like he is hinting at something. If true, could be another buying opportunity about to present itself.
