TED-- I guess it is time for a little PR on the work TAVA can do over the net; THE YEAR 2000 PROBLEM By Jim Moore of year2000stocks.com ---------------------------------------------- Accelr8 Goes ".com"! Anyone who has watched the Internet stocks over the past couple of months has seen many of them explode to the upside and it seems as if when companies put out a press release stating something to the fact that they are putting their business on the "web", then it's not too unusual to see their stock price rise at times. Thursday was no different for a certain Year 2000 remediation company. Accelr8 Technology Corporation (Nasdaq: ACLY) announced yesterday that they had launched a virtual Year 2000 factory on their WebSite,accelr8.com , which according to the company's press release will serve as a real-time self diagnostic system for determining an organization's Year 2000 readiness. And one of the interesting things about this to me is that this can be done regardless of where the company is in their remediation process. And the organization that chooses remediation via the Internet will pay repair prices in some cases starting at $.20 per line of code. According to Thomas Geimer, Chairman and CEO of the company, "Accelr8 believes that most IT environments are further behind in the Y2K process than is generally acknowledged." He went on to say that, "In most corporate and government enterprises, the YTK problem has been downstreamed and decentralized, making it difficult to obtain factual progress reports. Making Navig8 2000 Enterprise Demonstration available on a user direct basis, mission critical applications can be quickly and discretely assessed for Y2K compliance." The organization that uses the WebSite in this manner would simply submit their code to Accelr8 who upon taking a credit card or purchase order would simply generate a report that would list all of the deficiencies or would confirm that the particular organization was Y2K compliant. It was obvious that Wall Street liked what they heard as ACLY closed at 6 27/32 up 1 15/32 after trading as high as 7 7/16 this past Thursday. All comments are the property of Mark VIII.
