An interesting spoof on http://www.garynorth.com/ -- how does anyone (person or corporation) defend against this type of spoof site [a la Mad magazine .. but the web is a helluva lot cheaper than printing on dead trees]. Also interesting that Gary North is listed as a "contributor" <ahem> to his [her? ... nah, not with that picture] web site. Actually, Gary North has links to some decent info on Y2K [although it's hard to get past his hyperbole] -- he uses CF/database to reference articles that have been published on the issue, such as Yourdon's commentary on the "domino affect" (interconnectedness) http://www.garynorth.com/y2k/detail_.cfm/801 At least he's compiling a record, of sorts, of who is saying what ... http://www.garynorth.com/y2k/search_.cfm#Choices And if he'd just let the resources speak for themselves -- here's one { of coure, his commentary looks like hyperbole until you read the article } http://www.jsonline.com/bym/tech/0214chips.asp <quote> Tava Technologies, a Colorado software and consulting firm that specializes in assessment and repair of plant Y2K problems, says that in its experience at more than 400 sites, it has "yet to find a single site that did not require some degree of remediation (repairs)." At a pharmaceutical firm with operations in 39 countries, for example, Tava found 4,457 embedded processors in the laboratory equipment and manufacturing facilities of one location. Based on an inventory it conducted, 18% of the items were not Y2K compliant and 17% could cause a plant shutdown or affect production. "The chance of these systems failing was 70% for the lab and 80% for manufacturing and facilities," says Bill Heerman of Tava's Denver office. </quote> > Kathy E.
