'Shuttle imaging Y2K problem? Lloyd Wood <eep1lw@surrey.ac.uk> Fri, 12 Jun 1998 21:19:59 +0100 (BST) ---------- Forwarded message ---------- [Multiple (at least 5) forwardings deleted. PGN] [[ The "SIR-C processor" is big wad of custom hardware. SIR-C was the 3rd Shuttle Imaging Radar mission -- the premiere unclassified spaceborne imaging radar dataset. Looks like it's about to go write-only ... /Frew ]] >From: Ellen O'Leary [mailto:ellen.oleary@jpl.nasa.gov] There is a Year 2000 problem with the SIR-C processor and it is unlikely that there will be funds available to fix it. The purpose of this e-mail is to let you know this so, that you can request SIR-C data processing before this problem shuts the processor down. You can request SIR-C data processing over the World Wide Web at: edcwww.cr.usgs.gov Please try to space your requests out over the next year or so in order not to overload the processing team at EROS. Please pass this along to others who might like to know.

' The smart ones are not making their preparations known. I have gone into this mode (except for a few friends and family) Gone is my y2k screen saver at work (although my four co-workers know I'm preparing) I will share information, but I don't preach anymore. I think a great many people will begain to prepare soon, but won't admit it due to their egos being hurt by the pollyannas. Answered by Bill (bill@microsoft.com) on November 12, 1998. greenspun.com
