Kevin, reasonable questions that have been reasonably answered numerous times in the past. You can find them elsewhere on the thread. 'Spect we can all posit our favorite suppositions for and agin [sic] Tava, but frankly, who cares! Either you believe in your investments or you don't. If you do, then relax. If you don't, then sell. Simple as that.

Why there are so many folks that spend time trying to raise doubts in other people's minds (other than for obvious reasons) is a mystery to me.

As for Wexler, he speaks fairly clearly for himself, and I wasn't aware that he was recruiting others to clarify for the masses the meaning of his diatribes. ggg. As for his views re foredooming, foreboding, forecasting or even "foreplaying," foregive [sic] my bluntness, but who cares? His conduct is the issue.

OT -- so how hot did it get today?

<Mr. Wexler does NOT deny that there is a Y2K problem, in that there is a commonly occurring bug that needs to be fixed in many computer programs, whether they be hardware or software.>

ROFLMAO!! "Wexler does NOT deny that there is a Y2K problem???"

FROM THE HORSE'S MOUTH:
Highlights from Bill Wexler's, THE Y2K HOAX

Subject 15277

"Now the computer industry has to deal with its own big, ugly hoax - it's called "the year 2000 problem". Exactly when and how this load of hooey started careening down the information-superhighway is not clear..."

"Unfortunately, the scientific evidence does not back up claims of the true believers, but like any religious zealot, they're not interested in gathering empirical evidence to support their hypotheses."

"As with any scam, science and reason have been left in a Dumpster. In much the same way that con artists who deal in quack-medicine, perpetual-motion machines, and miracle diet pills use "science-speak" to paint a fa‡ade of credibility and mislead their victims - the Y2K crooks use their own impressive-sounding pseudoscientific lexicon: "find, fix, test", "manual vs. automated conversion", "millions of lines of code per second" and various other phrases which may sound like real computer science to the layman but are actually meaningless gibberish."

"Millennial apocalypse hoaxes and panics are nothing new. This one just happens to be a particularly embarrassing."

FINAL THOUGHTS FROM BILL WEXLER ...
Message 5184096
The Y2K crisis has been embraced by ultra right-wing Chrisitian lunatics from the outset. I have stated many times in the past that the Y2K computer hoax fits in perfectly with millenial apocalypse superstition.

CBN is run by the loathsome Pat Robertson. Pat is well known for making predicitons about the dates of Armageddon and Christ's second coming..dates which seem to come and go and, gosh darn, Jesus is late again!! When Pat is not busy begging for money from little old ladies to fund his bizarre and scary political activities, he claims to "heal" people right over the TV. Now he is pushing the Y2K hoax.

P.S. John Mansfield posts here because WE want him to post here. We "long-timers" are interested in ALL embedded systems issues, not just as they relate to TAVA. Shorts don't like John's posts, neither do daytraders ... they get bored.

You're just a "trial member" sweetie. Haven't paid your dues yet. In more ways than one.

Understand the nature of investing. Nobody who is long on this board
wants the lights to go out. All we want is for companies to pay TAVA
a great deal of money to fix their problems thus increase the value of
our shares. As a recently adapted even keel investor my feeling is
with this enormous potential revenue stream this stock might test
its new highs which were $14 a share from its current position of $9+.
Mr. Wexler position is that this stock is not worth $9 and most board
member disagree.
