>>"Nine years ago I was telling people the code is broken and if we don't fix it there are going to be many consequences. I was labeled a doomsayer. My optimism today is because of the work that's been done on the problem, and now I'm a Pollyanna," said de Jager. I just call him an opportunist. And more power to him... he made a lot of money out there on the lecture circuit with Y2K and established quite a following. Who, among us, would have ever heard of Peter De Jager, Jim Lord, or many of the other Y2K "gurus" had it not been for this event?? I can only think of two people who had established a public reputation before Y2K, Ed Yourdon and Ed Yardeni. Regards, Ron
