1999 is supposed to be the year of panic, when we all realise that the Year 2000 problem (Y2K) os almost upon us, bringing with it The End Of The World As We Know It (or TEOTWAWKI as it is referred to on the Internet). This guide explains what the problem is, how it really is going to effect everyone, and how to prevent PCs, Macs and networks crashing. It offers comprehensive advice to those most concerned in fixing the bug - IT managers, business executives and Year 2000 project managers.
This is the first book I ever read concerning Year 2000 problems and solutions. It was very easy to read and very interesting. Humorous!!!!Took my fears away and gave me a better idea of what can really happen if organizations don't pick there socks and change the inevitable. This book tells me that the Year 2000 problem is really a challenge for everyone to get involved in. I sure will try to be in a safe place midnight January 1, 2000. I think I will be ready because I am aware of the endless possibilites of problems. Therefore I will definitely avoid some of them. :} I will not be in an airplane, a car, an elevator and near any mechanisim that requires computer chips. I think I'll be in a log cabin with a wood stove.:} I have talked to people about the Year 2000 problems but alot of people don't care. They will care when it affects them. When the elevator doesn't work, their car quits in the middle of the highway, or their cheque does not go through the banking system as they espected. It's gonna be quite a sight. No lights, no electricity. :}
