Subject: Millenium Bug Busters...

This is not really on-topic. I was intrigued to hear today about
the government's plan to pump money into training people to fix
the Millenium Bug. The way I interpreted it was that they were
actually hoping to within the space of one year train 20,000
non-programmers to a level of programming where they could "check
and fix" hardware/software with the "bug".

Have I misinterpreted the proposal? -- as I understand it it seems
completely bonkers.

Neil
