Does anyone have a link to the "Chart of projected y2k failures" that was (I think) in a Westergaard article? It was produced by Mitre, I believe, and showed problems starting to rise around July 99 (consistent with Gartner). Searched both y2ktimebomb and Mitre and couldn't find it.

The GartnerGroup chart is slide #2 at this link:

I also recommend this link from the same Senate hearings:

"The difficult problem with [Y2K] is that it IS a moving target. Ive had the experience of having my old speeches quoted back to me, and saying, "How can you say this is where we are, when six months ago you said. . ." And I said, "Because six months ago that was true, and what Im saying now is true."

Unfortunately, many people get disappointed when you tell them things are going well. They kind of want this to be the end of the world as we know it. And when you say, "Hey, as a result of what weve been pushing for and doing, weve made some progress," they dont want to hear that.
