Some stuff from recent issue of Barrons, where there is a snippet about the effect of Y2000 issue on tools companies' (disagrees with Yocam's take on the issue at least as it pertains to BORL - I prefer Yocam's take!):

Meanwhile, Rinaldi sees some danger ahead for companies like Rational Software, which provide
tools to help companies write new applications. "Come late this year and
next year, as the year 2000 crunch really hits, one of the easiest things
to cut will be application development."

Humor (from the same article):

Speaking at a dinner in Silicon
Valley earlier this month, Sun Microsystems CEO Scott McNealy kicked things
off with a Lettermanesque top-10 list. Credit the gold-medal winning
Canadian snowboarder Ross Rebagliati for the inspiration. Here it is:
Scott McNealy's Top 10 Computer Industry Situations Caused by the
Inhalation of Second-Hand Marijuana Smoke:

10) Sun considers buying Apple.
9) Sun considers buying Netscape.
8) Compaq does buy DEC.
7) "Let's call that product Bob."
6) "Let's call our sons Maverick and Dakota."
5) "We only need two digits in the date field."
4) Windows 95.
3) "I said I wanted Adobe, not a doobie."
2) "Windows won't work without Explorer, your honor."
1) "Java: It's just a programming language."
