Banks seizing Y2K supplier funds << As sales of Y2K-related products and services reached record levels in 1999, banks began seizing credit card funds owed businesses, denying organizations access to money paid by their customers. Some financial institutions began calling customers directly, while demanding financial records from both the Y2K companies and their owners. >> worldnetdaily.com Somebody is running scared! ***** The Embedded Processor SECONDARY Clock Problem << I have REPEATEDLY heard or read statements made by people in VERY HIGH places that their systems do not have a Y2K embedded processor problem because: their systems: Don't show a date. Don't involve time. Don't have a time problem. I have even read some Japanese, Chinese and Russian statements that they don't have a problem because they don't even use the same Calendar as the US does (because of its predominant US Protestant and Roman Catholic Christianity). These highly placed people are wrong, wrong, wrong. The reason they are WRONG is because they do NOT understand the embedded processor SECONDARY clock issue. >> webpal.org This one is for at the semi-computer literate ... Essentially it shows why the Y2K embedded chip problem CANNOT be fixed by 2000. **** Ah what the heck, I got some extra sleep, so I'm back ... Still gonna spend quite a bit more time away from the computer when it warms up a little more. :-))
