<<And I thought (particularly given the source) it was a pretty good piece. I'll re-read it, but the only significant factual innaccuracy that jumped out at me was the statement that Bob Bemer "authored" much of COBOL.>>

Hi, David. I thought the article was pretty good, too; note that my post referred only to the cover (people cowering behind cars, Armageddon-style, as buildings crumble around them and a wild looking (depending on where you live <g>) fellow walks through the throng holding a cross and carrying a sign proclaiming the end of the world. (I'm working from memory here <ggg>)). Catchy, yes; but perhaps a little on the sensationalistic side to many advocating a clear headed approach to Y2K. Got lots of people's attention, no doubt about it!

Best.
