So he gets news that something doesn't work 12 hours b4 deadline... does he think he'll know what caused the problem out of thousands of possibles. Does he get a good salary? I want his job!!

No, the "moonbeam" didn't stop when Jerry Brown vacated the gov's office. My PG&E page has "Connecting with PG&E," an essay on the criminally convicted utility, and about in the middle of the piece is a report about the Calif. Senate hearings on Y2K with the various utilities. The hearing was last Spring, reported to me by a contact who was there in person. Follow the sun is the moonbeam above the stinking brown material on the capitol floor.

Having listened to a speech by Elias Cortez (very short because he had to catch a plane), I was very unimpressed. He repeated the standard spin but seemed to have no brains left over to do any independent thinking. I'm worried to know he is in charge of the California Y2k program. He came along with the new governor this past January and previous experience with Y2k was mentioned when he was introduced.

California Will 'Follow the Sun' for Y2K

California chief information officer Elias Cortez's Year 2000 strategy involves a Follow the Sun program to track the global impact of the date change up to 12 hours in advance.

Because many nations, as well as the rest of the United States will be dealing with Year 2000-related problems before the clocks strike midnight in California, Cortez plans to benefit from that advance knowledge.

Through Follow the Sun, Cortez can track Year 2000 technology problems going on in other places before they hit California. Emergency planners will be able to better prepare what might hit at home, he said.
