BR, I'm confused too; only thing I know is that mucho systems will be malfunctioning in the next 18 months or so. Mission critical-define please. Recession, maybe. Anarchy, I doubt it. Body shops have been remediating, but sending back "dirty code." Any one who's not aware of this lives in a y2k bombshelter. I don't feel very comfortable invested in anything except quality y2k's; and is that a malaprop? Embedded systems- overlooked,misunderstood, or just boring? Huge potential for TAVA- the hires tell the story. My opinion is that it's Tool time and TAVA time. Haven't jumped into the toolies, but I am doing a little DD. With Wex's help(lol). Good luck all longs. Brice

big run, <<"For those who think all is over after 2000, Cook quotes Rep. Stephen Horn (R-Calif.) as stating that the Department of Education would finish all its mission critical systems in 2002, Transportation in 2003, Labor in 2007, Defense in 2009 and State in 2014."> < now i am really confused. if the "mission critical systems" won't be complete until after 2000, won't they be either shut down or failing somehow? if the date problem causes systems to malfunction 1/1/2000, how can they operate after that?> You make a very GOOD point here. TOTALLY correct on possible malfunction and/or shutdown. YEP ... will happen. Has nothing to do specifically with TAVA though. HA HA ... I know why you wrote this. ROFLMAO - shorting TAVA. I can definitely understand because of current CNBC run-up. Guess you're planning on increasing your short position Monday AM when market opens. Can't blame you. If I shorted stocks, I'd probably do the same now ... pretty safe bet for a quick return. But, wanting to do it early last week when it was basically trading below 10??? Timing seemed off. Never made sense to me. OH WELL. *Sure hope you made your initial* short position on June 22 when you made the following post to Wexler.** LOL - Where was TAVA then? Hmmm ... closed at 9 9/16. Hi: 10 Lo: 9 7/16? <TO: BILL WEXLER - well, they say love is blind. i can't remember the last time i saw this much love for a stock. Message 4970678 I have NO problem with people shorting stocks. It's the unethical methods that some employ which bothers me. Cheryl
