I believe batteries would also be affected.

I have done some reading on it and also watched some documentaries but seriously, think about it, if it we experience a CME on that scale I think books (or ebooks) will be the last of our worries. Also, from the interviews with scientists that I have seen the jury is still out on magnitude and effect especially with modern power infrastructure having very clever management systems.

But if you are right and the day of judgement is coming then I'll come back on here and eat my words........oh, no, no I won't will I!

You got that right. If i had to worry about everything, I may as well be dead.

You said that right Hayles, as a mother a wife and a WOMAN. who cares about that?!

Since I am none of the above, is it safe to assume that I should be the one who cares?

why not?! if half of the genders doesnt then the other should.

Don't forget guys, in 1999 the scientists were telling us that on new years eve all the planes would fall out of the sky, computer systems around the world would become inoperable, patients in hospitals would die due to failures......governments and many others believed this rubbish.

This is typical scare mongering.
