3 January 2000 - one bug in 2000

< yesterday -- tomorrow >

Ya know, one thing about software, it’s as full of bugs as an anthill. In all the corporate computer crud that the world runs on, I bet maybe one bug out of a thousand is a Y2K bug. Even less than that—prob’ly one bug in 2000. People were only worried ’cause the year 2000 bugs might all wake up at once. The other bugs, y’know, they hafta keep up a regular schedule, one at a time.
