I am one of the people who predicted Y2K was simply a scam to sell
hardware and software. Anyone with a basic understnding of the problem
should be able to deal with it. For most systems it was really a one
minute event.

I was one who predicted in 1980 that Y2K would be a big problem, but I
would be out of that business by then.
It was, and I wasn't.



What was the big problem?



Media hype.
