IP: We are smarter than we look

[Dave Farber <farber@cis.upenn.edu>]

If we in the computer area could actually build fault tolerant and high availability computer systems and software we would be in deep  trouble with the Y2K problem. As it is, most mission critical systems are backed up by extensive human support in order to handle the failure of our systems during normal times.

Clearly we arranged for this to be so. :-)
