Something may have already "gone off"-- way off in Wexy's head. Anyway, just read some details of a Y2K conference held at the University of Colorado over the weekend. It's nice to know that companies like TAVA are out there...the Y2K issue is most critical for embedded systems and that's what TAVA has a good focus on. Anyone can conduct some simple Y2K experiments around their homes and offices and see some of the basic results for themselves. Try setting every device containing a clock from your VCR's to watches to your computer to the year 2000. Some of these devices with "clocks" are less obvious than you might think so really do some thinking about it. It is likely that a few of those devices will act "strange" or even fail to operate at all. This is a VERY SIMPLIFIED version of one of the hardware aspects of the Y2K problem. The software aspects get even more complex. Now multiply that "bug" by the hundreds of millions, and place them in just a few critical places in our technologically driven society and you can imagine what the result might be. Anyone who thinks that Y2K is not a real issue is simply demonstrating massive ignorance or has their head somewhere dark and unpleasant smelling. The issue is real and TAVA has some real solutions for it. All the naysaying in the world won't change that. Best Regards, R. Gates
