Edward Yourdon. Isn't he the idiot that played Chicken Little before the
new "millennium" and screamed that everything run by computer was going
to break and we were all doomed as a species and we should all buy
thousands of gallons of water and tons of food and bury them along with
ourselves in a plastic bin somewhere out in the desert?
I don't think anything he says (or has ever said) has much relevance
anymore.
