Title: Ooh, scary!
Review: Ed Yourdon is one of many programmers and computer hobbyists to jump on the fear bandwagon, but this account is based almost entirely on speculation and contains very little factual examination of the problems at hand. The Year 2000 bug is real, but the worst-case scenarios presented in this book do a huge disservice to a society which should have no problem functioning normally after the big day. This book should be entered in the "gimme a break" category. Yourdon and others will feel shamed when the day comes and goes with no ill effects felt by 99% of the population. Unless, of course, everybody panics and sells their stock and makes a run on the bank.
