Have the US Post Office and MIT contracts been mentioned anywhere before today? Don't know what the numbers might mean form these two, but they sure sound great to have as clients.

Beyond Y2k: Kevin Fallon's presentation seemed pointed at "TAVA after Y2k". If I understood correctly, the "object-based software" is a major product development effort, probably leveraging the incredibly growing database (now 104,000 items). The definition of object-based software that I know has to do with radically cutting the time it takes to develop an application. Sort of like this (if I'm right): When I was a youth, I pulled the motor out of my car, stripped it down and rebuilt it piece by piece, car by car. Then I got enough money ahead to just pull the motor, swap it for a factory rebuilt, and drive away, saving immense amounts of time and labor. With object-based software, you don't start from scratch with each installation. You start way ahead of scratch. Rogue Wave (RWAV) is an example of a company that develops software modules that corporate applications developers buy, plug in, and save six months development time. If this is the way TAVA is leveraging the database, I'm very impressed. It makes the world's factory floors Tava's, because nobody else has the database.
