PCWEEK: Y2K in Embedded systems mentioned 'One thing Jones doesn't deal with is chips embedded within systems. Roleigh Martin, a consultant at a major Fortune 100 company, says Y2K bugs in embedded processors have been too long overlooked. These processors handle everything from running water sprinklers to opening cooling valves on electrical generators, Martin points out. Think of what might happen if a valve suddenly forgot to open one day. You can't debug this stuff. It's got to be tested system by system, and then each buggy chip needs to be replaced.' zdnet.com
