Everybody who is nervous about IAI should go see the factory in VA. With 70 people there working on all kinds of projects in looks very impressive. CA World was very beneficial for IAI in terms of new partners and new clients. We will see announcements shortly. As far as vector is concerned I would like to see their calculations on Amazon.com and KTEL. KTEL will probably be a 2 dollars stock and it is in the $60s. So, ignore Vector calculations entirely.

I just received IAIC's 1998 annual report and proxy. I was very impressed by the professionality of the information exhibited and very pleased to see that the company insiders and Soros' fund are still committed to IAIC. The annual report's letter to the shareholders lists five main objectives that were set last year: 1. Select the right languages and platforms for UNICAST/2000. 2. Select the right partners to seek out new Y2K business. 3. To create a solutions factory. 4. To put financing in place to fully develop their product line. 5. To attract a management team to grow with the company. All of these elements are now in place and the company's goals for 1998 are: 1. Leverage IAIC's alliance with CA to make UNICAST/2000 the standard for CA's 4GL's date remediation. 2. Successfully offer factory services for Y2K projects and establish relationships for post-Y2K migrations and modernizations. 3. Seek additional alliances with systems integrators to bring in additional licensing revenue. As noted in the proxy, the CEO still owns 1.902,800 shares (versus 1,918,200 one year ago) and White Rock Capital (Soros) still owns their 379,500 from this year's PP. These are STRONG votes of confidence IMO. Regards. Elliot

JoCo and _scott: Re: silence ... Well, OK. If it will help, I'll post every hour on the hour. But, there's not much to say that hasn't already been said. In summary ... I expect this stock to do well because of the CA connection. It's now 7:52am in Arizona. So, at 8:52am I'll repost this message. Nah. Just kidding. I'm as anxious as the rest of you. Regards, TED (I don't know Matt or anybody else here other than through SI).

Scott, I can't really add much if anything to what has been said either. Sometimes there is just a lull in the great race. As was pointed out be Elliot, IAIC has met its goals from the past, and has set out its goals for the future-some of which allow for the questions on most investors minds in regards to y2k companies in general-what about "after" the year 2000. IAIC is working on that issue at this time but it is not as urgent as the y2k issue, which is in a time crunch situation-that, for some reason, has still not caught the eye or favor of the street in general (after an initial run up and pull back a while ago) , and that is for almost the entire sector, not just IAIC. The one major thing that sets the y2k problem apart from most others is-not only does it have to be fixed, it has to be done in a relatively small time frame. Why the street has failed to get hot on it again is a bit of a mystery but it is a matter of time (and not a lot of it) and the street will once again be riding the good companies in that sector sky high. A lot was made of CA World and I think many of us got caught up in hopes of immediate jumps, when in reality it takes a little time for companies that get introduced, to chat and come to terms on deals that will effect their future. As was also pointed out, there will be more than just a few things coming out of CA World. They just are taking a little longer to get out to the press than we would want. IAIC is still hiring people-doesn't sound like they are ready to pull up stakes-expanding for increasing work load-the vector vest tool may work with certain types of stocks but trying to use it to correctly interpret the future prospects of all types of stocks is inappropriate, and I too am curious as to what the 0-2.00 readings #'s are on stocks such as KTEL, etc. today and what they were a few weeks ago.
