'the Army will host a Year 2000 conference April 13-15 '
'The Y2K airborne. Bill Curtis, the Pentagon's new Year 2000
czar has already started beefing up his staff, recruiting Katherine
Hollis, currently the director of the electronic commerce task force
at the Defense Information Systems Agency, as his deputy, along
with Tom Weber, another DISA hand. Hollis proudly noted that she
is a former Army paratrooper like Curtis, giving her the "hooah''
spirit to tackle a risky mission equivalent to parachuting into
Baghdad.
In a related development, the Army will host a Year 2000
conference April 13-15 at the Hyatt Regency, Crystal City, Va.
According to Army widget boss Lt. Gen. William Campbell, the
conference is of "vital interest to everyone who faces the Y2K
problem, especially support contractors.'' I have a feeling we will
soon see the emergence of Year 2000 groupies hanging around
conferences like this, looking for autographs from aging Cobol
programmers.
