I wonder if anybody has asked Liolios the following questions? 1. What proportion of the 12.5 million dollar May orders is for equipment? 2. What proportion of these orders, if any, will be done by sub- contractors or partners? 3. Is this amount of orders in May unusually high or can we expect to see the same or accelerating rate of orders? 4. What proportion of this order is for services and what proportion tools? 5. What proportion licenses and database access fees? 6. Way back Tava had said they didn't want to hire much more than 150 people. But clearly with the latest hiring they are going beyond that. It seems that year 2k embedded work is unlimited in scope if not time, so how many people does Tava plan on hiring beyond the additional 150 to help attack this enormous problem. RS

''You think you've got them all found, crank it up for the test and find out you didn't find them all. You fix them, crank it up again for the test and things still don't work,'' said Bennett, who recently visited two utility plants. ... mercurycenter.com
