Hi Cheryl, Aside from the Y2K dis- and mis-information war going on now, it would be good to remember that it does no good to try and sway someone who's mind is already made up. However, please don't give up on the others and keep posting info so those of us who can still think for ourselves will come to our own conclusions, take action, and take responsibility for the results. Regards, John

Well C.K. I'm not sure of your definition of a rumour. The valve replacement scenario sure qualifies as rumour from my perspective. I was interested in verification but certainly not to the extent of calling a V.P. of Kraft. If I were not interested in the truth why would I have posted: By the way, I would be interested to learn about any valves that must be replaced due to Y2K problems with their controllers. Can you provide any information regarding manufacturer, type of valve or controller, model number, etc? Often when one posts on S.I. a lurker or someone not directly asked will supply information. You are correct about my comment regarding a defective motherboard. I should have said a motherboard with a defective chip rather than a defective motherboard. Al By the way, if you are financing gensets I would advise you not to do so by way of a chattel mortgage. If you do may end up with a pile of them in your back yard in early 2000. Although they will be probably be unused their value will have dropped considerably. (In my uninformed opinion!)
