<two new offices in Minneapolis and Houston.>

Mark,

Thank you, thank you ... for this post! I've been SO busy with the kids visiting, and had to get some stitches in my foot from a "pool accident" ... that when I saw today's press release ... I only scanned the beginning and TOTALLY missed the part about the two new offices.

I thought FINALLY! Can this be true? Called info and asked for NEW listing for TAVA Technologies ... and got it:-))

What we have a LOT of down here are oil & gas operations (crude & natural gas), oil refineries and chemical refineries. Home office of Enron. NASA Space Center south of town. Compaq, just north of town. Dell in Austin not far away. Lots of diverse opportunities and new markets.

I'll do a "drive-by" one day just to see where TAVA's located, but probably won't visit. I really don't talk with TAVA, though no matter how many times I tell people, they don't seem to believe me!!

A month or two ago when I went to a Y2K Embedded System Conference here in Houston ... I had dinner with the Y2K director of one of the BIG publicly traded oil companies, and was lunch partners with another. We talked "embedded systems". TAVA came up as part of the natural conversation, primarily because they were interested in how it was that I understood Y2K and embedded systems so well. I don't look exactly like an engineering/computer geek.

Many of you will think I'm crazy ... but I didn't pursue a TAVA discussion, nor did I try to promote the company. These guys were already WELL aware of TAVA and were already in discussions with them for various things. As were several other publicly-traded oil companies.

I was mostly interested in embedded systems ... what can be tested ... what can't ... supply chain ... parts availability ... blah blah.

At the conference the two names that came up repeatedly ... were TAVA and Raytheon. That was good enough for me. Sounds crazy, but it's the truth.

Anyway, am delighted that TAVA is now in my neck of the woods.
