Licensing = More $$$$... ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Cheryl: The August 19th Conference would also be a good time to kick off a TAVA licensing program to allow TAVA to be in many places at once and multiply their Revenue generating power beyond the physical limitations of their current Engineering group...

CK, Just noticed news on insider trading in TAVA. Looks like Messrs. Kelsall, Hagewood, Fallon and Richards sold 251,000 shares (no buys) at the following prices: 15,000 @ $10.00 35,000 @ 12.07 75,000 @ 11.375 4,000 @ 12.00 7,200 @ 10.4995 50,000 @ 7.50 Seems to me that if TAVA outlook good and improving these people wouldn't be liquidating. Also, their liquidation meant the market had to absorb (you, me and others) the 1/4 million they dropped. Don't know what current float is but do you suppose some of these sales were to private firms? Do you know what officers and directors hold in shares as a percent of float and what amount of shares can be released into the market over the next 6 months. Still holding and buying selectively.

C K. Re: DRI Legasys. LS/2000 I have received a brief note on the referenced company. The article relates to this private Canadian company that has the silver bullet. The LS/2000 is to stop the millennium bomb. Is is a cure all for all Y2K problems. This included systems with embedded chips!!!! IBM Canadian has the exclusive license and has successfully completed the Y2K for the Royal Bank of Scotland. The article appears to be a scam as the writer also stated the company is thinking of going public. The article was directed Forbes 100, Management Information Systems. I thought you would enjoy a simple to solution buy a novice writer. RMJ

Re The Time Element As a moderately large holder of Tava, I am very conscious of the passage of time vs peak opportunity. For whatever reasons, the tide is flowing against us. Dramatic action is called for, and you seem best positioned to stimulate management. The UN building must have a lot of old embedded chips. If TAVA were to offer help as a public service, the PR would easily offset the cost. The offer of free CDs to all member governments, with some pre-scheduled Internet training via Net Meetings could be the next humanitarian contribution. CDs, after all, will be like empty seats on an airplane not long after such gesture were fulfilled. Keep up your good work. JB
