[MANUFACTURING] Y2K attention in 'Plant Engineering' (magazine)

' April 1998 Plant Engineering

WEB UPDATE

Year 2000 and Counting.

In the January 1998 issue of Plant Engineering, we featured an article on how the
Year 2000 could affect your control systems. This problem is no computer hoax;
businesses should pay ample attention to the Year 2000 computer phenomenon.
There are web sites dedicated to informing the uninitiated, as well as the experts,
on how computer-based systems that use only two digits to represent a year may
run into problems when the year 2000 rolls around. A few of these sites are
reviewed here.

The Year 2000 web site (http://www.year2000.com) is a logical place to begin,
and it is one of the most informative web sites dedicated to this phenomenon. It
offers columns, back articles from many resources, press releases, job listings,
user groups, an e-mail subscription newsletter, and a section that focuses on the
liability and insurance concerns. They also provide conference/seminar
information and a page of web links to other "Y2K" web sites of interest. This
well-rounded site contains lots of pertinent information and is a valuable resource
to anyone who has a computer-based business.

The Year 2000 information directory
(http://www.itpolicy.gsa.gov/mks/yr2000/y201toc1.htm) is the place to stop if
you're looking for federal, state and international coverage of the Year 2000
problem. Basically, this web site links to other resources, but it is both
comprehensive and reasonable in scale. There are links to 34 state resources.
There also are links to articles from such sources as CNN, IBM and the Christian
Science Monitor, standards that involve the Y2K challenges, contract language,
conferences and vendor information.

Got some questions about the Year 2000 problem? Then the Year 2000 Problem
web site (http://www.19t0.com/problem.htm) is the spot for you. In simple, short,
linked paragraphs, this web site answers some basic questions about this problem.

Another web site of links to valuable Y2K resources is y2klinks.com.
It is part of a "Resource Site Ring," or a group of web sites all linked to each
other. You can go from one to the next to the next until you've made it all the way
around the ring.

And finally, although there are many, many more web sites dedicated to the Year
2000/Milennium Bug Problem, if you are the type of person/company that needs
deadlines to help you keep on track, check out:
state.or.us. The state of Oregon has put
together a timeline of deadlines that will help keep companies headed in the
direction they need to go to avoid a major computer snafu when the clocks hit
2000.

It's just that everyone is hanging on NMS this and NMS that.. it's is though the world will stop if TAVA does not get this listing. Remember, they were suppose to have NMS in late Feb. what the hell happened? The stock went from $8 to almost $15 without NMS. Just don't set yourself up for a long face if they do not get it anytime soon. I will say that if they do not get NMS shortly after earnings, you have to ask yourself why? Again, the NASD is being very stingy about giving out upgrades at present, that is why they are wooling TAVA around soo long. I do not want to dismiss the importance of NMS but it's not apocolyps now if it does not come right away.
