There is slight mention of embedded systems in the Money (Feb 98) magazine article:

"The good news is that probably only 5% of these embedded chips are date-sensitive and thus subject to Y2K failure, according to Giga Information Grouup in Cambridge, Mass. The bad news: There will be an estimated 25 billion chips at work on the planet on Jan. 1, 1999."

Topics of the article include:
Your investments: "You need to know how firms whose stocks or bonds you own are confronting Y2K."
Your broker or mutual fund
Your bank or credit union
Your credit cards
Your insurance
Your Social Security and Medicare
Your Taxes
Your Computer
Your Home

(From Sibe: Again, no mention on investing in Y2k companies.)
