Nov. 16th - No communication from Alydaar. Added is the offer of TED at the end of questions. The following is a list of ten questions sent to Mr. Gruder's office at 7:30 am today,Oct 29. They are your questions summarized and focused to facilitate our conversation tomorrow. We can use it as a reference, Consortium Question #, and it should enable the conversation to remain focused in key areas that impact the long term viability of our investments. If this works, we have a means for future conversations. Thanks for all the calls and support to this endeavor. WE have a TEAM. To demonstrate our team work, please ask questions and refer to our list of ten. If you need to embellish, it will be easier with a reference point. Also,in the future, we could offer our expertise and wisdom via the consortium. NJ Investors Ten Consortium Questions 1.

Subject: Alydaar: Year 2000 (Y2K) Remediation; Audit; Reengineering To: NJ Investors From: TEDennis Nov. 4, 1998 10:12AM EST Reply #8781 of 8823 NJI: Re: "Does anyone have the technical expertise to evaluate Alydaar's technology and compare to other alternatives?" Looks like nobody responded to your question. I have the expertise and sufficient relevant experience to review ALYD's software and then compare to other solutions I have seen. I've done several other free-to-the-company reviews in the past (Vertex 2000 from BMR Software, CSGI, PTUS, VIAS, Matridigm/ZITL) and posted the results here on SI. I'll be doing another one in a couple of weeks (VXTK). Is anybody (and that includes ALYD, the company) willing to pay my expenses to visit their headquarters for a whiz bang demo and comparative analysis session?
