Year 2000 National Symposium Series just completed in New York. Ed Yourdon was one of the scheduled speakers. Gordon McDonald from Chuck Missler's Koinonia House attended and provides the detail of what was said.

Hi Me (that sounds funny),

You're right! That is a good discussion.

BTW, PJC, I recall them saying that the conference people said that there could be 1000 times the number of errors that computers have today -- that is, the contingency plans should be for problems 1000 times worse than today.
