And Borland's tools like Delphi were going to rule the development world. And grid computing would be huge too. And Novell...well, I guess Novell was already on their way down... ;-) I agree with John....there's no timebomb in the software that means "Game Over" in 2015. Look how many 2.x apps are still out there...and how many DOS apps are still out there. Someone (Matt?) said it here best: we may be in demand like the COBOL programmers were around Y2K in so many years. (Then again, maybe not!)
