>>>Did I say Cobol? Nope, I don't think so. I said embedded systems. Chips in particular. The manufacture of said chips to be precise.
Sorry, I miss this. Sandbag does not write embedded software either, in fact it has nothing to do with software, period. It makes that little chip of the size of a stamp with sand (silicon), so that people can store the favorite pictures of their love ones, or messages, or phone directory, or street map, or software, or etc. you name it.
If you fix program stored in a ROM or a eeprom, you just pull out the chip, put in the new software, and put back the chip on the circuit board. It's like when you replace the engine of your old VW, you buy an used or new VW engine and put in your car, but you don't redesign the engine compartment to fit in a V8 engine.
Btw, not too many embedded systems software has problem with year 2000. Most embedded systems is used to control a device, or engine, therefore it has no date info in it. Kind like the engine control or security system in your car, it will work forever and will not fail even after year 3000 as long as the hardware still works. I know this because my real job besides playing with stocks is in designing embedded systems.
Sorry to divert from the subject of Sandbag but one more time, this company has nothing to do with year 2000 or software in general.
Back to my boring real job. |
