I saw this on the LU thread. Does this mean that TAVA is taking business from these companies or is the y2k contract $ going to be diminishing over the next 3 quarters, or is the slowdown simply more prevalent in the enterprise space? Realizing that TAVA works at the industrial level, are we less exposed to this slowdown since the problems HAVE to be fixed? exerpt from Jim Seymour's column... <<Dell's quarter may also be a warning to pending slowdowns in PC hardware sales, as companies throttle back information-technology capital spending to divert funds to Y2K remediation efforts.>> <<I see forecasts such as this often these days. However, who is getting this y2k work? The service companies that I follow--KEA,CPWR,CHRZ-- have seen their percentage of revenues derived from y2k diminish from as high as 50% in previous quarters to as low as 10% in the most recent. As low as 7% predicted for next quarter.>> I asked this exact same question, and got the following answer right out of the mouth of a project manager at one of the companies above. They stopped taking new Y2K projects a while back, and are wrapping up most of the Y2K projects they did have. Depending on the project, if companies had waited as late as Q3 98 to initially ask for help, KEA, CPWR, CHRZ, et al, didn't want the liability risk as they didn't feel that there was enough time to GUARANTEE the project could be done.

Brian, << determine dates and rates >> There may be, but I don't know how. Maybe someone out here can help. I'd be interested myself. I would guess during a couple of the bigger volume days. Think I'll go look at the recent high volume dates and share price at those times. Larry
