    At a SQL conference, I met a bunch of engineers who were part of the Y2K fix for their companies. They spent 1998 hustling for equipment and setting it up in 1999. Almost all of them were “optimistic” that they’d be fine by September.

    But during the rollover, they all said they all did pray to the computer gods.
