There's been considerable discussion of this transcript on the TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) Q&A Forum. See the thread Video conference by Janet Abrams Dec. 17

The web page in question shows only a blank screen now. For the record, whatever that's worth, the full text of the transcript was posted near the end of the thread (Diane Squire, Dec. 30, 1998). Catch it before the thread disappears into the forum archives.

This topic spans at least two forums (this one and TimeBomb 2000) in several threads. I've started a dedicated Forum:
