If you all haven't seen this little gem in Forbes online, don't miss it. Forbes asked 10 Y2K experts where they'll spend New Year's Eve. The experts included Yardeni, North, de Jager, Yourdon, an LA lawyer who worries about civil unrest, an air traffic controller, an AT&T fellow, and more. An interesting mix of answers.

At this point, the only one I would believe is Ed yourdon. The rest are either idiots or lying asssholes.

Good find Drew! Interesting indeed. Thanks for the heads-up on your interview with Cowles too! I've referred many folks there when they ask "Will the grid go down?"

Diane, Thanks for the hot link...I found of "most" interest and most honest to be was Mr. Switz, VP for the Air Traffic....."No airlines"

I guess if he wont be up there, NOBODY else in their 'right' mind would be either? I wonder, cant he get fired for being so outspoken?
