Yep, Jeff, pretty fair indeed--except that the security leak, if there is one, is not necessarily from the TPI side. Again, if there is anything to this at all, it could have come from any source from TPI to the suitor to the suitor's legal firm's secretary to Mighton's dog. Is a schnauzer culpable? Thanks for an even-handed presentation in your last post.

One other thing--my understanding is that TPI has been vvorking vvith the former BMR Softvvare, on a daily basis, on their Vertex 2000, since a year ago last spring. This vvas long before the Letter of Intent vvas signed, and due to a personal relationship betvveen Bob and a TPI employee (hence little TPI getting a crack at it). I believe that gives them a leg up technically vvith respect to using this particular tool, though your point that they've yet to employ this tool, to date, is a fact. TPI's vvorking knovvledge of the tool also gives them an advantage in the distribution of Vertex 2000 in territories vvhere they don't have exclusivity. TPI also licenses Neomedia's (NEOM) toolset. I'm not familiar vvith it technically but other firms beside TPI have stepped up to license it from Neomedia.

Safety in numbers. I disagree on the stock tanking. Although the possibility exists the probability is being greatly reduced by the direction of management. With reporting in place and the ability to actually see revenues and costs associated we now have an advantage over most BB stocks. I do believe that getting off this exchange is a priority and can be done. But with a world wide drought of qualified IT professionals and TPII building a team with revenues coming in now I don't see this stock tanking from here. As an IT professional I pride myself on the ability to accomplish any task put foward whether Y2K, internet programming, operating system installations, etc. My point being that since the conference call I am now convinced this company is more likely now to develop into a profitable firm. The nature of IT is two fold, supply labor and charge more for that labor, sell products that you have developed. They already paid for the development of their products so margins will be their and they are adding staff which can generate revenues. My general understanding of Y2K in general is most software companies are developing tools and staff to accomplish Y2K and O/S migration(convert to newer programs) and this is what TPII has done. Whether this stock takes off or not at $1.18 this company has value today.
