2016

[Victor Odhner]

Happy New Year, everyone.

Y2k is an interesting case. It went by so quietly that I think the world will look back on it as an unnecessary panic or an outright boondoggle. But here is a case where IT management worldwide listened to their techies, saw a genuine disaster coming on, and responded in time. So remarkable, and we are among the few who can appreciate what was done.

But we can't get cocky. Y10k is closer than you think, and nobody will know COBOL!

Hard to believe Y2K was so long ago.

Happy New Year!!  May everyone richly prosper in 2016!
