Steve,
That was an interesting article you posted about Manufacturing Systems and the Year 2000. But with due respect, it does not belong on this thread.
I am sure you are aware that, while TPRO works with manufacturing organizations, its work is limited to embedded systems. The article you posted refers to remediation of main frame systems.
TPRO has a unique niche in the Y2K sector, but that fact is not well understood by people looking into the company. Posting the article you did or any other Y2K article that is not specifically related to embedded systems can only serve to confuse matters further.
Similarly, any articles that refer to embedded systems, but only in areas where TPRO does not work, such as in satellites, VCRs, toasters, automobiles, etc. are equally off topic and should also be posted elsewhere.
I would like to see a moratorium on all of the Y2K articles on this thread unless they are specificly applicable to TPRO or its business, i.e., embedded systems in the business sectors where they operate. Posting general Y2K articles here is misleading and therefore possibly even more damaging than all of the superfluous notes that Skip and others spoke against a couple of days ago. There are other active threads where those articles would be more appropriate.

P.S. Steve, I enjoy most of your contributions. This note is to you only because your post just happened to be the one I came across when I got this "bee in my bonnet." |
