Paul, Many of those come and go and know SH*T about the background of the company, or about the coming huge wave of expenditures for fixing embedded systems Y2k, or .... This stock has probably been manipulated in the past by persons now prosecuted by the SEC for stock manipulations. I dont care; I know why I am investing in this particular company. Thanks again for your great comments; I read most of your outstanding analysis of IMRS during the past 14 months. Few persons on SI can do analytical work like you do! Regards, John

House Science committee hearing: 'Potentially, the most troublesome effects of the Year 2000 issue, however, will arise from embedded systems whose inability to process the year 2000 may lead to complications for the public at large. These are the machines and systems that are dependent on microprocessors (chips) with built-in two-digit firmware. These machines are so pervasive in our lives that the average American is barely aware of how much impact their failure could have. The average user of technology at home or at the office may focus, too much perhaps, on telephones, faxes, copiers and, of course, desktop computers that might be adversely affected on January 1, 2000. But the loss of the electrical supply of our buildings, including fire control systems, heating ventilation, security and access systems pose a greater threat for serious problems. Even more troublesome, modern medical and life support devices are oftentimes chip-dependent, including pacemakers, electrocardiographs and electroencephalographs. The list of Y2K challenges facing our society will be long unless industries operating our nation's infrastructure take action. For example, communication, security and emergency services may be temporarily disabled - transportation may be disrupted and even water and sewage services may be suspended - all due to the failure of certain embedded systems, or the failure of connected systems to communicate. All of these effects will have a direct impact on the average American. ... house.gov
