Dear TM: Well, as I said in my first post on the subject of the CC that was, IMHO, the ONLY positive I got from the call. Suggest Bob elaborate on it. JDN

TechMaster, You are so full of sh-t that it isn't funny. If you are a long-time holder, and a continuing accumulator of this stock, then your investment looks like crap, and you are down probably 50% or more. That is great performance for the past year!! You obviously have no clue about anything!! I vote that you refrain from ever commenting here again, and we listen to someone, anyone who may have the remotest of clues on how to properly analyze a company like this. You have the same skills and abilities as Gruder...good at lying, deception, and not knowing how to manage, or communicate. Take a hike! This stock is a loser.

Tech Master, can you give Gruder a call and ask him what those 9 new contract's are worth for October, I think a lot of us Long's would like to know and as stated before it would be great to hear that they are well known company's that are addressing their Y2K problem's. I can not understand now that everyone know's Y2K is a MAJOR problem, that company's would want to keep it a secret that they are working on fixing their Y2K problem, you would think that they would want their shareholder's to know they are fixing their computer's? Am I missing something here, why would they want to keep their Y2K fixing a secret? Well here is something, keep them coming: Friday October 30, 12:51 pm Eastern Time Company Press Release Year 2000 Wire/Alydaar Software Corporation Selected to Help Guardian Royal Exchange Swat the Millenium Bug CHARLOTTE, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Oct. 30, 1998--Alydaar Software Corporation (NASDAQ:ALYD - news) announced today that it will provide Guardian Royal Exchange with an independent audit of its Year 2000 computer systems to provide further safeguards in ensuring millenium compliance. The audit is believed to be one of the first independent checks to be introduced by a financial services company. Alydaar will complete this additional audit on a statistical sample of amended Guardian Royal Exchange computer programs within the next eight weeks. Jim Hudson, Deputy U.K. Millenium Director at Guardian Royal Exchange said, ''A stand-alone check by a professional third-party is an extra ingredient to help ensure compliance. This step is over and above the existing stringent test we have already undertaken and is an indication of our commitment to our own millenium program.'' Jim Hudson continued, ''We aim to be one of the first major financial services companies to complete a comprehensive review of our millenium alterations. The fact that we are also having a number of the changes verified by an independent third party should give extra satisfaction to intermediaries and customers throughout the U.K.'' Alydaar's Chairman and CEO, Robert Gruder, stated, ''We commend GRE for its industry leadership in arranging for an independent audit of its remediated code as a further assurance of Y2K compliance, prior to putting the code back into production. We are very pleased to have been selected by GRE to perform the audit of its code. This contract award increases our business from the U.K. and Europe. We presently are working on code from businesses located in England, Ireland, France, Switzerland, and Austria.''

Tech - One of the reasons I bailed today is the one positive I thought was a sure thing...were the numbers. They were not near what I expected....I could care less about how many contracts they were just awarded or will be awarded. They are always landing contracts and nothing good for the shareholders ever materializes. The biggest obstacle ALYD must overcome is investor perception, which IMHO, gets worse everyday. Gruder does not have a history of backing up what he say's, and the buck starts with him... therefor if this thing is going to turn around, it must start with him as well.....and that is a scary thought. Another thing I have noticed, and I would love your opinion on this, is that this company, as well as investor thought patterns are very "wishy washy". Awhile back, we were a Y2K company with distant thoughts on the future. Then the big build up moved to them not being just a Y2K company, but also shifting to new arena's after Y2K. Then just recently, Y2K was in the back seat...all talk was that Y2K was minimal, and focus was shifting to their after Y2K plans. All talk on this thread, recent news from the company and etc....shifted away from Y2K and looked at the " new horizon ". Now it seems they are trying to go back to the Y2K focus........It just seems like a very wishy washy way to do things....a company with no direction. It almost seems like a sinking ship looking to plug the holes. The passnegers are naturally optimistic......plenty of lifeboats...help on the way and etc, ...but as each ray of hope disappears, a new one pops up to keep moral high. Maybe not the best analogy, but I see people grasping for something new to keep them afloat every few days it seems. The blast off on 15th...more news by 30th....great numbers....great plans.....it just seems like whenever the company lets shareholders down, the shareholders simply find something else to think positive about. This is all fine and good, but it certainly isn't the way to make rationale decisions. The movie needs to be looked at as a whole, not frame by frame. Anyway, these are just my thoughts and observations...good luck.
