At that time I was an independent developer. I had 6 or 7 apps that were installed at different places, most the mission critical sort. My apps were basically Y2K ready but found a few fixes. I had to sign legal documents to hold me financially responsible should there be losses by the companies when the century turned. Nothing happened. Whew!

You want to make $200K (or more)? Just wait until (or if) the Gender field is mandated to accept more than M/F.
