Humbly report, All, from Sibe: 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.) From: Message 3197478 I've seen the 25 billion figure in private communications and on various web sites many times, but I believe this is the first time it is mentioned in print. A start . . .
