CHEEKY KID: Read my lips ... Embedded S-Y-S-T-E-M-S is where the big problem is. Not C-H-I-P-S. Don't you READ anything??? Do you know what the difference is between the two?? I've posted explanations often enough. FROM MY PREVIOUS POST TO CHEEKY LOL - Ron Quiggins was my lunch partner at a Y2K Process Control conference in Houston March '98. Notice he used the words "embedded CHIPS" and not "embedded SYSTEMS". He's totally accurate with THAT statement. He and I had a very interesting conversation about "embedded SYSTEMS" assessment, remediation, and testing on oil rigs. Particularly the North Sea rigs. There are numerous safety issues involved with testing and remediating while rig is operational. Best to do when a rig and pipeline are taken down. "Then you don't have to worry about safety. You only have to worry about money." FOR THOSE THAT DON'T KNOW DIFFERENCE: A typical oil rig has approx 100-150 embedded SYSTEMS. Within these systems are approx 10,000 embedded chips. FOR THOSE WHO WANT MORE TECHNICAL INFORMATION: Message 3323138 Cheryl
