Acknowledgments
Many people who are in the trenches of the year 2000 battle, and thus have very little time to spare, nevertheless spent a lot of it helping me understand this complex and dangerous phenomenon. Here are a few whose assistance went beyond the call of duty: Irene Dec at Prudential Insurance, who patiently explained many aspects of her company's model year 2000 project; Peter de Jager, consultant and co-author of Managing 00, who has a talent for making this problem understandable to nonprogrammers; the Gartner Group, without whose ongoing efforts I never would have learned about Y2K when I did; and research analyst Michael O'Connell, who has shared a store of information. Also, thanks to Bill Ulrich and Ian Hayes, who put together the Software Productivity Group Conference that turned out to be a two-day year 2000 education. As Peter de Jager says: "Go to a year 2000 conference. It will scare you."
