Brains are necessary here, people. Y2K can be overcome and we'll live nicely through it if we're just not stupid. So today I get a call from a very serious woman representing a large organization whose apparent Y2K preparation process was to have someone call and demand written Y2K compliance statements from all their software suppliers. I couldn't resist. But as I thought about it later, I became more and more appalled.
Brains are necessary here, people.
Y2K can be overcome and we'll live nicely through it if we're just not stupid. I'll be honest, I was pretty confident that Y2K would be a mere blip until I got this call. But if people are this stupid four months before the zero hour, maybe I better stockpile some SpaghettiOs. Let's try not to put the fate of the world into the hands of a bunch of poorly-trained temps reading off a script. So tonight, I decided to get on my soapbox.
