Cheryl, as always, outstanding work. Only wish TAVA could afford you. Maybe I should start a TAVA shareholder's fund to hire you?

Currently TAVA is listed in SI under "Software". There's a new category called "Year 2000 Stocks and Discussion" (Thanks to John Mansfield. And I was thinking, maybe that's where we should be:
techstocks.com

PLUS right now it's flagged as a new category
techstocks.com

And, it's featured here as a new category:
techstocks.com

From a "marketing" standpoint, it makes sense to make the change. Besides, none of the existing categories are truely descriptive.

The "Y2K Impact on Stock Market & Society" thread has been today's #1 hot subject for the past few hours. Have to think that this new Y2K category had something to do with it.

To be listed in this category, I just need to include "Y2K" in the title - could be at the very end. Sure wish "2000 Date-Change Problem: Scam, Hype, Hoax, Fraud" didn't pop up first, but there have been SO many great rebuttals - it actually works for us.

What do you guys think? Should I do it, or shouldn't I? I personally like the idea ... for at least the next couple of years.

>>,,,,in over his head on this issue.<<

Thanks, Cheryl, for the excellent report. Although we do get access to some of the irresponsible people who should be Y2K aware via the press, it's even more powerful to hear a tale firsthand which throws the spotlight on the 'view from the top'.

"In over his head"? Yes. That's because he "doesn't want to know". The implications are obvious. He's part of a group who all follow the herd and don't make waves within their circle. IMHO.

Don't count on them for any advice at this stage of the game.

When thinking about Y2K fixes and TAVA I bear in mind what James Dines says, "Everything takes longer than expected." Holding.

Cheers,
Bond

It is interesting to note that over the past five days, three Year 2000 stories have made it in the Washington Post. Two on the front page to include one this Sunday which is a highly read paper throughout the country and an editorial in Saturday's paper.

From this Sunday's paper:
Year 2000 Bug Could Bring Flood of Lawsuits
Litigation May Top Costs of Fixing Glitch
