Hi!
I'm Swedish. I have a website where I post important pieces of Y2k news in Swedish. However, most links are in English. Check it out if you like:
http://www.geocities.com/WallStreet/2314
My question is:
What happened to Bruce Beach and his essay on embedded systems? He was around for just a short blip. Is he still publishing anything? Any news on the "Beach bug"?

Dear Mayhem
Bruch Beach most likely dropped out of site (to us) because of all
the flak he received. You might notice that there are few from the
scintific community speaking out (exeption, DR. Paula Gordon,
Yardini,Yourdon). These people usually confine themseleves to thier
own inner circles and rarely interact with the uninitiated.
I think that Beach is onto something, and should not be dismissed out
of hand.
Others have expressed similar sentiments.
regards,
Bob P

I'm posting a URL that is the latest I have for what Beach is doing.
This site will give you info on what he is doing in Canada to prep
for y2k.
Hope this helps....

Sorry I'm not "geek enough" to know how to do a hotlink. Maybe
someone can explain...thanks!

Received following this evening 8/10/1999 from Bruce's email news:
Y2K People Finding People - http://www.webpal.org/list.htm
Dear Friends,
Peter Boudreau is busy merging
the Y2K Network and
the Survival Community Network
and within a week we should be able
to give you the results of that merger.
At the moment it appears that
the Y2K scene is going to remain
in its doldrums
right on up until the event date,
as expected and planned per the Navy War College page.
This has created a problem for the Ark Two community.
As you may know, Ark Two is
the largest pluralistic, multicultural Y2K preparedness complex
in North America, and
has been designed to be on an economy of scale
to make the total preparation costs for each individual
the lowest possible.
However, for reasons incomprehensible to us
we are having difficulty in finding people to participate.
Below is the URL of a website which explains the Ark Two community
and which suggests some methods of participation.
http://www.survivalnetwork.org/y2k/
If you have any ideas about how we might go about attracting others
to participate in our community,
we would very much like to hear your suggestions.
Also, if you would post, mail out, or otherwise distribute
as broadly as possible the above URL,
we would greatly appreciate that also.
Sincerely,
Bruce Beach
and
Peter Boudreau
