Cheryl:

There is some satisfaction in reading Mitch Ratcliffe starting to take Y2K just a little more seriously. But his criticism of the Senate Report as being anecdotal and not having enough 'facts' just missed the point. When are these geniuses going to figure out that We Are Not Going To Know What Will Happen? I'm waiting patiently.

In the meantime, there are some excellent Y2K articles in this month's Wired. Go figure, they weren't taking it seriously last year either. I especially enjoyed the Myth of Order by Ellen Ullman. She has been a programmer for over 20 years and understands exactly what those of us who have seen this problem up close and personal understand. There are too many variables. The outcome is not predictable. We're taking the world through a live system test on 01/01/00. I guess people like Mitch just can't deal with that level of uncertainty.
