It is January 1, 2006, and sitting watching Television last night – I thought back to 2000 and thought about the fear that we all held watching the ball drop and half-expecting the sewers to back up on Times Square as midnight kicked over.
Also today I am “cleaning out my closet” and pitching some old stuff and came across a Powerpoint Presentation that I made in 1999 about Y2K – at the time, I was the CIO of the College of Engineering at Michigan State University and I got a bit of flak about this talk.
Now six years later I am going to throw away the printout of my slides as I clean my closet so I figure that before I pitch them, I would type them in in case anyone in the future decides to ever look back at this point in time. Kind of a time capsule.
Here are images of this talk
