Here's one I haven't seen anyone address. Again I'm new to the list so may have missed an old post.

Is this just another Canadian trying to make a quick buck?

Makes for interesting reading:

I had a *very* strange sequence of near-catastrophic hard drive problems yesterday (detailed in an earlier thread) that *may* be explainable by C-E Effect.

BTW, from having observed the principals engage in a year or two of banter on csy2k, my impression is that they are *not* hucksters.

The Crouch Echlin effect has been replicated by INTEL. It is basically a buffering problem affecting RTC/Glue logic in certain obsolescent Mainboards.

Two Nukes exhibited the C-E Effect at Rollover. Most people who had similar obsolescent Motherboards didn't see it because it only affects machines that are in operation at the Rollover event. Most machines were powered down at CDC.
