Unless the 1000MP contains date text, (mainly a clock) and is Programed
in COBOL or one of the other software languages, there should be no
problem. Heart Pacemakers are just a computer chip that is on a quarts
clock that sends a steady beat, no date text in them. So year 2000 will
come and go and there will be no problem. Same with any radio that you
bought today yesterday and 50 years ago with a CPU in them. The computer
software that controls them from our 486, 586 and 686 computers (and
probably 786 in 2000) may have a problem.
