'The reality of millennium meltdown

Adam Gifford talks to a year 2000 bug guru spreading the word here.

Canadian millennium bug guru Peter de Jager has boiled his year 2000 bug message down to three
statements.

One, our systems are broken: "Not all of them, just most of them, and usually in mission-critical areas,
because they are older, larger and more likely to be affected because of the date standard of the
methodology we used.

"Two, we have a deadline, December 31, 1999. Many of our systems will break earlier. I believe most will
break in the last 30 days of 1999.

"Three, we in the information technology industry are not good at delivering projects on time."

Since 1991, Mr de Jager has been speaking to prime ministers and presidents, chief executives and financial
officers, urging them to take action before it is too late.

His Web site at www.year2000.com is visited by more than 400,000 people a month. He is constantly on the
road, "preaching to the choir" - addressing conferences such as one in Wellington last week attended by year
2000 project managers from businesses, banks and government departments.
