I just checked my old book collection and found "Time Bomb 2000" by Edward and Jennifer Yourdon. On the back it has questions like, Will your car run?, Will there be food?, Will your PC work? ... Yep, I fell for it. Marked $19.99 - I hope I got a really good discount.

I heard a 'Y2K person' interviewed on NPR recently. Her point was that if the IT industry had done nothing in advance to remediate, we would have had utter chaos on 1/1/2000. But we did prepare. We undoubtedly overprepared, but by how much will forever remain a mystery. In the 90s Stewart Alsop famously predicted the end of the world. He retreated well before the event itself. We all buy insurance that we're thrilled not to utilize. That doesn't make it a waste. . .
