Guest guest Posted February 9, 1999 Report Share Posted February 9, 1999 Hare Krsna dasi --------------- Computer Reseller News February 01, 1999, Issue: 827 Section: CRN Weekly Business Weekly Rumors, Truth & Innuendo -- ShadowRam Not to add to any year 2000 panic, but next December, think of three things: beer, bottled water and the Sears catalog. Some CompTIA folks recently visited water treatment plants in Nebraska to test controllers for Y2K problems at municipal water treatment facilities. Within hours, coliform bacteria showed up in the water systems, meaning some embedded processors aren't quite ready for the new millennium. What's more, there are over 1,000 similar water treatment systems around the country. It seems the Chinese have an entirely different way of handling the Y2K phenomenon. The Chinese Ministry of Information Industries ordered all top executives of its national airline to fly on Jan. 1, 2000. I'm not sure if this is a vote of confidence in China's Y2K compliance or the harbinger of a management coup. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
