KR -- remember that we will be seeing 1Q numbers barely a month after FY/4Q numbers are out in a couple of weeks. JJ will have the knowledge of the results of an almost complete 1Q to guide him in his comments in the CC. We need solid earnings announced, but..... we also have the opportunity for some excellent comments with the proof following a couple of weeks later. Of course, all of the possible positive here is based on bw and his ilk being full of bs. What are the chances of that?

This news is very good. My only concern - and it is a major concern - is that in view of a shortage of qualified people who have sufficient training and experience to take on these complex tasks, where is the company going to find the people it needs and what will be the relocation cost for those it does find? Keane (KEA) has said this is their greatest problem at the moment. Although Tava is in a different area than Keane facing different Y2K problems, they must be experiencing similar human resource difficulties.

RE TAVA/Beck & municipal infrastructure: A CEO I was talking to recently markets products to water utilities in the US. He says that there are 52,000 water utilities. So I think we should take those who are concerned about TAVA/Beck finding enough good people to handle all the potential work seriously. Just to get one technician to each site before time runs out would take a considerably larger payroll. But I'm e-mailing my utility tonight and advising them to get cracking. Luckily, there's a TAVA branch office only a few miles away. Unluckily, the blurb my utility just published says they are relying on vendor assurances that all's well in waterland.
