Hi Ted The first time I saw I/NOVA doing it's thing was at WEBCO. WEBCO I believe is the biggest warehouser in the state of Hawaii. The items they deal with run into the thousands. The owner and workers are just delighted with the system. I remember WEBCO spending a whole lot of money on their WANG system. Everytime Noel Chang wanted to do something he had to call the programer. I remember the look of "You must be kidding " on his face when Tom Price told him he could change various things by himself without a programer. The new system was put in place without interupting the ability to do business. It was just announced in our local newspaper the Star Bulletin, that our Governor appointed ROY PRICE, Tom's older brother State coordinator for problems of Y2K. Roy is retired military. He was CHIEF of STAFF at FORT SHAFTER. He is presently our Deputy Director of Civil Defense and has much experience with FEMA, DOD, etc. Just thought this was interesting. (Serendipity)?? Ted, one of the main reasons I invested with Tom is because of the reaction I saw at Webco. They were saying -no the guy said that can't be done. Tom showed them otherswise. I am an Assistant Professor @ our University and teach Emergency Medical Services for Firefighters, Lifeguards, Police and Paramedics. My favorite subject is anatomy/physiology (Structure/Function) so I am not a Techie and have very little knowledge about computers. I believe that computers are not very smart and can do only a few basic things like Create, Add, Delete, Change, Save and Inquirer. I also believe that their are many ways to do these Functions efficiently. Function should preceed Structure. Whom ever can Stucture a computer to act in a way that business Function or wants it to function will reap tremendous profits. Aloha. Tim
