Hi all,

George Washington University conducted a day long Y2K seminar on Sept 10th. All the presentations (including mine) have been transcribed and are available at:

www.gwu.edu/~y2k/categories/y2kstudy.html

There is some very interesting and insightful stuff there.

thanks,

Jim Lord

Just read the presentation at

and really enjoyed it! Thanks Jim. Nice that it ends so upbeat! We do expect the world to experience some catastrophic spectacular disasters on 1/1/2000 because of computer failures and embedded systems going haywire, and some nasty surprises. Then a long period of frustration, inconvenience, and amazement at how much we've relied on those damn beige boxes. (Course the Mac will be the champ!) And economic distress, population dislocation, etc. on a large scale. And rage and revenge from the rest of the world. War, etc. -- more of a bleak outlook than yours.

Very interesting reading. Thanks for posting here. More & more charged energy to you as you traverse the country waking people up to The Lit Fuse.

Mr. Lord,

Thanks for mentioning this seminar. Very interesting reading, will take a day or so to get through it all. Stuart Umpleby summarizes the current lack of communication and awareness situation very well.

I think that in the future we may license software people. We will not allow people to write software unless they have licenses.

As I have mentioned elsewhere, I sincerely hope that this does not happen. We need to be already planning how to prevent this.
