Dave. Thanks for the two comments below. It would be nice for you to reveal
more of your own opinions to IP. I realize this may be more difficult in
your new job.

Farber says Y2K was for real, by the way.
"I think if we had not done anything, we would have had the catastrophe of
the century. I wrote some of that code, the old code. A lot of things would
have fallen apart."


He warns that the underprivileged suffer most from Internet censorship at
libraries.
"If you never go because all you see there is pablum," Farber says of the
public library, "you will hurt its ability to bridge the gap."
