Forum "Old-timer's Alert: Tom Benjamin Rides Again

greenspun.com : LUSENET : TimeBomb 2000 (Y2000) : One Thread

The following thread will link you to an interesting essay.

For those of us who followed the United States Senate Y2k hearings it may be MOST interesting.

A caveat: "cpr," a.k.a., Charles Reuben, has taken pains to remind me that he ranks Tom Benjamin as one of the "biggest jerks" (and I'm paraphrasing the term here in the interest of civility) of Y2k. This despite the fact that Tom is a professional writer.

O.K., Tom's a "sports writer," not a "computer industry writer." I'll grant cpr some slack on that. On the other hand, most of the "sports writers" I've worked with have always seemed to possess the infallible gift of accurate brevity.

Well...judge for yourself.

As always, just passing it on.
