The Global Economic Impact of the Year 2000 Computer Software Problem ==================================================================== Exceptional 65 page paper by Capers Jones, Chairman of the Software Productivity Group (SPG). Superbly detailed, well-researched and highly regarded in the Y2K community. When reading this, keep in mind the research report relates STRICTLY to software. The report does NOT include recent hardware problems - BIOS, RTCs (Real Time Clock) - which have only recently surfaced. If BIOS & RTCs are not compliant, Y2K compliant software will have corrupted data. In some cases bad BIOS & RTCs will totally shut down the system. The report does NOT include EMBEDDED SYSTEM problems in manufacturing, utilities, process control, etc.) spr.com

Can you provide some more info re: Millennium Investment Corp., including how to get in touch with them. I, too, have read the Tony Keyes book and am looking for any other source that deals with investment advice re: Y2K. Any other known sources would be appreciated. As you know, Jim Lord's book has a small section on protecting your investment, but it is pretty basic. I am also interested in more opinions on the reaction of precious metals to the Y2K problem. Thanks.
