Вирусът Y2K

Rate this book
— Малко бавно схващаш, шефе — отбеляза Док. — Наричаме го Y2K — компютърния проблем 2000.
— И какво можем да направим?
— За руснаците — нищо. Но за нас, останалите… Ами зависи.
— Допада ли ти идеята?
— Звучи привлекателно — отвърна Док и почеса брадата си. — Но, от друга страна, бихме могли да оставим всички тези луди корпорации да загинат, когато компютрите им откажат.
— Дръж се сериозно, Док. От какво имаш нужда? — настоя Копланд. — Само кажи.
— Ами чакай да видим… Един мейнфрейм IBM — най-мощният изчислителен компютър, — с който да си играя, неколкостотин пакета програмни продукти и двама-трима инженери.
— Само това?
— Е, би могъл да ми купиш и банка, но защо да си даваме толкова труд?

Yes, I'm sick of Y2K, too, but I got an advanced reading copy of this and figured, what the heck. I'm sure glad I did. It's a semi-science fiction look at what might happen when the millennium bug hits computers. An entrepreneur makes a fortune in the years prior to 2000 fixing the computer bug in banks' computer. His head geek, meanwhile is planning to save New York City. It's a great adventure, especially if you appreciate computers and what they can do and not do!

I love this book! I first read it in 2000, after the Y2K bugs all fizzled out, and upon re-read it still held together very well. I loved the characters and the plot, and I am very glad that this version of the Millennium Bug did not transpire.

Una novela mas, que si no se tratara sobre el Y2K ahora ni siquiera la recordaría. Al igual que me ha pasado con muchas otras novelas.

Sin embargo se trata de uno de las primeras novelas que leí por completo, un poco también animado por el tema que estaba de moda en esa época milenarista.
