Ed was instrumental in helping my company look into potential Y2K vulnerabilities. It was Ed&#x27;s book (Time Bomb 2000) that made me want to investigate Y2K in the first place, so I hired Ed as a consultant. Turned out there were no significant looming disasters, but there could have been some problems if we hadn&#x27;t investigated and made corrections. Ed&#x27;s advice was very useful, and he was a joy to work with. He will be missed.
