As far as Y2K is concerened, it is a non-issue borne out of millenial apocalypse superstition and a general misunderstanding of computing technology in the general population. Thanks Bill, I'll be sure and pass on your thoughts to all of those Y2K managers and contractors at the local WashDCY2K workgroup meetings who are ACTUALLY DEALING with Y2k issues. I'll also pass it on to some folks I know at the State Dept, who have been trying to work with fellow governments to raise recognition of the vulnerability of their IT systems, many of which are hand me down US technology, that Bill Wexler says it's all a big hoax. I'll also pass it on to the assistant Y2K manager I was speaking to several months ago, so she can notify the Brazilians that their antiquated IT technology is, in fact, Y2K compliant because Bill Wexler says it is. I'll also pass it on to the representatives of APEC, who will be meeting next month to discuss contingency planning in their economies (not remediation, mind you, but contingency planning since the time for remediating is long gone there). I'll be sure that they know that Bill Wexler, the Y2K "sexual intellectual" (btw, that is a euphenism for F*ing know it all), is smarter and more aware than they are and he's saying "What? Me worry?"** Bill, I'm not into apocalypse theory over Y2K. I don't believe in the TEOTWAWKI scenarios. But I am into investor psychology. Investor psychology continues to put the rest of the world on notice about perceived fears of economic collapse and depression, as evidenced by the capital flight we have seen from the periphery to the center (us). Those fears are not going be alleviated by the inactivity evident in most Asian and European countries. Europe has been focused on the EMU conversion and is only really now coming to grips with performing maintenance on Y2K remediation. You talk a good talk in your vain attempt to sooth the fears of all of the Y2K wackos. But you have yet to document your information in such a way that I can forward your analysis and assessment to national leadership. (believe me, if it were sound, I have the means to make sure that someone important sees it and passes it on to the White House). I see what people are doing and the fears they are voicing over their ability to resolve the issues in time. So I'm sorry if I discount your suspiciously vague analysis. However, you have the opportunity to convince me and others otherwise so we can say this economy a heck of a lot of money, paid out both for consultants and Tagamet. Btw, should I tell my wife to stop performing IV&V work in her position as well?? She can tell the programmers to reverse the damage they have already caused to what were once Y2K compliant systems?

Bill: Wonder of wonders. A rational post from Bill Wexler. Bill, you're absolutely correct about earnings. String together about 4 or 5 outstanding quarters, with diminishing Y2k percentages, and you might attract the so-called 'big boys'. I also agree that Y2k is a non-issue, totally discounted in the marketplace. You are, however, missing one key point. Proper placement of windfall Y2k lucre, and TAVA becomes a serious long term player IF they make wise and judicious use of these new revenues, either through appropriate acquisitions, or through upgrading their core business. JJ must realize, but apparently still doesn't, that these 'one trick pony', Y2k releases, mean nothing for the long term. Meanwhile, I doubt there's an easier stock to make money with in the entire market. Think about how many five figure pops were made on TAVA in just the last couple of hours. This is a dream stock for hustlers.

iionline.com biz.yahoo.com biz.yahoo.com i-cube.com Now folks... it seems to me, ACCORDING to the fundamental analysis of Mr. Bill Wexler, that ICUB is a hyper-promoted company. Their earings are slightly higher than Tava's but the revenue growth is slower. And they're trading at a scandously attrocious price of $20. So tell me someone, ANYONE... why is it that Bill dedicates so much attention to TAVA instead of directing his attention to other companies that obviously are more grossly overvalued, ACCORDING TO BILL's STANDARDS, than TAVA. Please not the number of employees on their payroll and then compare that to TAVA. It's enough to make you go hmmmm..... What's your real agenda, Bill?? Please tell us Bill, we really want to know why you are so intent on spreading your disinformation toward TAVA, when there are so many other stocks that are far more expensive and trade at oh, so much higher P/Es than TAVA.
