$9 Million Spent on Y2K Repair Job: Oops! Try Again. $10 Million More Please!

The New Zealand National Library spent $9 million on a repair job that
failed. Now it wants another $10 million.

This is from NZINFOTECH WEEKLY (Feb. 9).

THE National Library is planning to spend up to $10 million on a
computer project to ensure its cataloguing system continues to work
after the Year 2000.

The library previously spent about $9 million on the disastrous National
Document Information System computer project, which was to have
made the cataloguing system Year 2000 proof, before abandoning it in
December 1996 because the software did not work. . . .

The final scope of the project has not yet been finalized, Mr Blake says.
Once a solution to the Year 2000 problem has been chosen, it will
become clear what other features can be included.
