Larry Boy,David Eddy, << Read a couple of David's post on y2k impact>> Doesn't it become clear that shaking everything down in advance is impossible. Attempt what's most serious and let the chips fall. That's all that can be done. Just hope ALYD comes through with decent revenues and has superior enough software to steal some internet/commerce business soon. It's still going to be tough because when the insanity of networks comes back to earth, the market's going to be very gun shy. Dot com will belong to the strong and trying to make a place will be like trying to enter the semi market today. Sorry, semi belongs to the big boys. ALYD must strike hard and fast. Let's hope this quarter knocks some socks off, other than ours. :-) Larry

Larry Boy - i could not help but wonder if you considered today's alyd announcement of new team members and entry into enet to be consistent with your above setforth conclusion or just another smoke screen by inept mgmt? I really don't follow ALYD & can't comment on any current doings. My caution flag went up with these folks when I called them in Louisiana. And then when I was promptly told to get lost because they had THE magic, I was not personally impressed. Then to take more than two years to find out what platform (Unix) the tool runs on... This outfit has lacked "polish" from day one. I haven't seen it getting any better over the past 4 years. As a software professional, one of my biggest warning flags is when a software person is totally impressed with their creation. When someone is totally convinced their technology is THE answer, this is a certain receipe for disaster...remember what happened to the CASE tool vendors? Remember Index Technology, Bachman, KnowledgeWare, IEF...all gone. - David
