System after system after system, fixed and not fixed are passing Y2K tests. The over reaction was started by Y2K doomers.
Look at the Y2K industry:
-Selling books -Y2K seminars costing upwards of 1500.00 dollars for a 2 day seminar. -Consulting - all sorts
-Testing all sorts of machines, FAX, Photocopiers, Telephone systems, etc. (Why they waste their -time with chips that won't be effected is beyond me, but you have to be sure <g>)
The list goes on, and on.
I have seen it first hand, this week on TV Y2K experts saying your electronic furnace thermostat could be affected, etc..... These are Y2K experts and the media eats it up.
I checked my electronic thermostat for the hell of it. No year function, when the batteries die, do does the your programming.
I am so sick and tired of Y2K experts saying to media all these items that could be affected, when in fact I have never ever seen a report of one that didn't work because of Y2K.
I could posts all those links again like, Oil industry that said "were not finding the embedded chip problems we though we would." I can go on and on.
Oh, what about Ontario Hydro's test, that included Nuclear Power plants, Y2K tests NO PROBLEMS.
I can go on and on. |
