Just to show you how fricking *easy* it is to forge somebody's name onto a post here. Calm down, guys!

Looks like Ladylogic is about to lose it again. Everyone run for cover.

I have no special feeling for Ed Yourdon but I would like to know if anyone has hard info as to whether he made a killing from y2k. Is Ed a multimillionaire? Did he get his wealth from his FUD books, lecture fees, kick-backs on prep items that he touted?

My own very uninformed impression is that he is not filthy rich. I stand ready to be corrected.

Actually, I posted that, not LadyLogic (or a false LadyLogic, for that matter.)

Speaking of "bag of dough", whatever happened to Jimmy baggadoughnuts?
