James Chan, a systems engineer at Hewlett-Packard Taiwan, recounts a joke that has been making the rounds within information technology circles: A programmer could no longer take the pressure of his Y2K work, so he decided to look for a job with some other company. Every company he interviewed, however, wanted to hire him to work on their Y2K problem.
惠普的系統工程師詹德瀚則說了一個普遍流傳在業界的笑話：有個資訊人員受不了 Y2K 的壓力，決定辭職跳槽，沒想到問來問去，每家老闆都要他去抓千禧蟲。
