Dear Rick: I gotta tell you that I'm simply flabbergasted by this TAVA revelation. I have been monitoring TAVA for a possible investment for months. Some of the best Y2K minds, that I follow, are on this thread (and a few others). I've always been under the impression that TAVA offered an embedded Y2K remediation solution. The high profit margins are in remediation and testing, not inventory research. Since, according to Fortune Magazine, PTUS offers the embedded Y2K remediation solution why is its price-to-sales ratio and market capitalization below that of TAVA -- a low margin inventory taker?

Dear Rick: Comeon fellow, you can do better than that!! Rockwells "free" tool I am reasonably sure ONLY covers their own products if that. Most LARGE PLANTS our target market have MANY MANY different companies products within them. These are all "wired" together for sychonization etc etc. TAVA's product covers the entire spectrum which is what makes up a plant, not just the DAMN SCREWDRIVER. Now Rick, if you dont know that, then I question your experience level. As to Wily Willies Post--it is just ANOTHER example of his misleading information. Microprocessors are HARD WIRED HARDWARE items not software. You dont "repair" them, you take them out and THROW THEM IN THE TRASH and replace them. THE TRICK is finding WHICH ONE. The microprocessor in and of itself is not particularly expensive nor difficult to replace. As to PTUS I fail to see how a software company can REPAIR hardware. If it can, send me the program to repair my ENGINE. JDN

Rick: Allen-Bradley/Rockwell tools - TAVA addressed this in a conference call early on. If your factory has been an Allen-Bradley client, Allen-Bradley will do the Y2K work for you. If you've cobbled together your factory over the years using a variety of vendors, SIs, etc., call TAVA. Jenkins has always been open about Allen-Bradley clients and Raytheon clients having those companies to turn to. But he also said both Allen-Bradley and Raytheon did not plan to enter the "cobbled together" factory sector. Without that knowledge, he might not have committed so much of TAVA's resources over the past year to Y2K since he had the core business profitable. But seeing clearly a window of opportunity, he seized it. You gotta have vision.
