      abstract = {The worldwide scare over the "Y2K bug" result in the  expenditure of hundreds of billions of dollars on Y2K  compliance and conversion policies. Most of this can be  seen, in retrospect, to have been unproductive or, at  least, misdirected. In this paper, the technological and  institutional factors leading to the adoption of these  policies are considered, along with suggestions as to how  such policy failures could be avoided in future.},
