I found this in a newsgroup. No telling how much of an affect it will
actually have on computers, but something else to consider when talking
about Y2k stuff...
>>>
Every 11 years the sun sends storms of cosmic rays which disrupt all sorts
of electrical devices. The last was in 1989, and they are due again in
2000. 1978 was also a year effected by mega cosmic rays and was
coincidentally the first year of Expansion Interface manufacture. Could
the rays have been the source of the EIs poor performance? I have a 1978 EI
and its never missed a beat, but I didn't own it in '78. Its all buffered,
probably against cosmic onslaughts.
