<Well C.K. I'm not sure of your definition of a rumour.> Something that cannot be corroborated. So, I guess you're either calling me a liar OR you're calling the V.P. of Kraft a liar. <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.> He and I both spoke at the same conference in NYC and had lunch together. I thought that conversation discussing valves might be helpful to you, so I posted the link recapping the conference and discussion. Cheryl =================================================== My previous post to you: 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? Alastair, I just ran across the link recapping my May '98 conversation with V.P. of Kraft Foods. Jeffrey Mitchell was also at conference & contributed. This was the conference in NYC where I was on the panel discussing embedded systems. As you might recall from previous post, Don and I discussed the Y2K problem with valves over lunch. Message 4392206 If you still don't believe that there's a problem with valves ... and want verification, why don't you contact Don Butte directly, ex-Kraft V.P (lives outside of Chicago). He has both a computer science AND electrical engineering degree. Had been with Kraft for 30+ years (was with General Foods before Kraft acquisition). Built 9 plants. FOR ANYONE INTERESTED IN PROBLEMS ON FACTORY FLOOR WITH FOOD PROCESSING ... I SUGGEST YOU READ THE LINK POSTED ABOVE.
