I am not sure why I keep responding to you, when you have no credibility, and in fact this will be my last post to you. 1. To answer your last points, I did read about a hospital recall for defective pacemakers which had nothing to do with Y2K. You have not challenged that. You have given NO proof to believe that pacemakers would have any Y2K problems. 2. Of course I have called hospitals in Toronto, and they have assured me that pacemakers have no date function, and cannot be affected by the Y2K design flaw. Cheryl's post dealt with the monitoring of pacemakers, which, although important, would not cause them to stop working next January. 3. I started my own business in 1970, and continue to work there, even though I am a senior citizen. Do you have a problem with that? With regard to reading and studying about Y2K, please read my previous posts with B.K Myers for an example of a rational discussion of the problem. Before you post such irresponsible opinions, which deal with a life and death issue for those with pacemakers, please think about the harm you could be doing. Have a good life.
