> You think it was a hoax? IMO, it was a very critical warning that every major company around the globe examined and agreed with, and then invested a lot of money in fixing. The only reason that those things didn't happen is because of the advance warning by people like Yourdon. There were many problems in systems that weren't fixed, such as people getting video rental bills in the thousands because they had rented a VHS tape for 100 years, but because they weren't the type of systems that people's lives depended on, they were relatively simple to remedy manually. The important systems had already been fixed.
