Humbly report, Travis, just sent a private message to Norma, asking her to bounce your message off her friend, and maybe get back to us with more detail. Svejk (GL-15 applies: digiserve.com ;-)

Travis, Because of your response (Doubt that very much.) to my statement (they tested one of their MRI machines for Y2K compliance. Total cost for checking and necessary chip replacement, $600,000!), I contacted my brother and asked him if he stands by the statement he had made to me. His response: The MRI statement (above) was made by the head of the Texas Department of Information Resources Year 2000 Project Office. She was making a Y2K awareness speech. That is all I know about the MRI statement. Norma PS. BTW, I attended a Year 2000 Summit last week and heard David Hall speak about embedded systems. Mr. Hall is the SIM Year 2000 Working Group's infrastructure topic manager. Frankly, I felt I had a pretty good knowledge of the Y2K problem after having worked in the Y2K Information Processing field for over three years. After hearing Mr. Hall's speech, I realized how LITTLE I know about the embedded system issues. A couple of Mr. Hall's shocking statements: "Why are we focused on automated controls and embedded systems? Average Percentage of resource use between Automated Controls and and Embedded Systems (80%) versus Information Processing Systems (20%)." "What is touched by potential Year 2000 problems? EVERYTHING we have built for the last forty years."
