Y2K for Gas Pumps

A Wall Street Journal Article says that a company, PMP, is being overwhelmed with business to convert the mechanical dials in old gasoline pumps to allow prices over $4 a gallon. So years ago gasoline pump manufactures did not see it as cost effective to build in that ability. In many ways they were right. Most pumps are now digital. I am reminded of years ago when gasoline prices first breached the dollar mark. Many gasoline stations had to find ways to modify signs that did not go higher than 99 cents. I guess the next problem will be ten dollars a gallon.
