Jeff- BG stated in the conference call that questions recently posed to the company would be addressed in a FAQ section on their website. But, hey, Y2K ain't going away and companies can't keep ignoring it forever. That's my story and I'm sticking to it. (gg) 9 new contracts in one month seems like it is beginning to sprinkle harder in Y2K land.

Geez, things are so gloomy no one even grubs for an "00" post. It's safe to say Briefing.com was right for all the wrong reasons. They were wrong about ALYD's business model (no leverage my butt), but we're right about the industry. Jeff, you're right- the conference call sucked, but the press release was pretty good (excluding the lack of a balance sheet). Seems to be some new buyers out there taking shs. from the ole' faithful that have finally thrown in the towel. I don't blame them a bit, but I still have some hope for the company (and stock). If the company does indeed become a winner, it is a shame that so many nice, loyal backers will have been forced out before they can see it. -Felt Burner

Congratulations, Jeff's out of denial. Alydaar, Bob Gruder and staff aren't perfect. Don't throw away those “pom poms” yet. You might need them down the road.<ggg> Remember when you sent me the hate mail about Tech being pathological lier. Looks like he was right. Respectfully sir, I wished I had listened to him. He was the only one who knew what he was talking about and you couldn't stand it. Have a great 401k -Robert

Dear Jeff: Great speech!!! I liked the Whiskey and Rye part best! haha. As to NJ Investors questions, I thought that BOB addressed that when he said they were going to set up a FAQ (frequently asked questions) section on the web site shortly. Incidentally, what is the site URL. In a fit of anger I erased it some time ago and you can save me the time of searching again. JDN

Jeff, the question is will January be the right date to call it quits? It seems too early. I know there are many companies that have told their tech departments that they are not to use outside help in fixing Y2K cause it is too expensive. I still believe this will change by early 1999 as these companies will have to shell out the big bucks. What about the governments. They will have to use automated solutions. These will be handed out soon. I think first quarter 1999 is too early to give up. If Yardini is right and panic hits, then the automated solutions stocks will hit new highs. I'm in it until year 2000 right now as I believe that peak earnings will be in year 2000. I'm sticking to that story.

Jeff..GREAT POST..... it covers generally 2 broad topics..namely y2k problems across the board & Gruders Goofs(i.e. management type no nos) History will determine the ultimate impact of y2k and therefore we play no role except as observers and passive investors hoping we were right.As to the latter situation with management &PR/IR blunderswe can play a significant role if we become a TEAM with NJ Investors. In my lifetime i have seen a shareholder with 8 shares make a co. listen by going to Court. With the significant # of Mom & Pop investors here on si, it is entirely unnecessary . to even think about such remote things as potential litigation.....since all we have to do is unify and ask ?s as a group. While i will support such a effort and think it utter madness for us to not join NJ Investors, I can not because of a personal situation lead such a effort. FWIW, if YOU; TM: and Andrew Vance will join NJ INVESTORS in a TEAM then IMHO you will see a significant response. In the old Harlem Globetrotters, Goose Tatum used to say "its so easy" This too would be easy but we will never know that if we dont try! Jeff, any fool can see this mgmt has & continues to shoot itself in the foot except in those instances when Bob puts his foot in his mouth.
