From Library Journal
A recent Gallup poll indicated 82 percent of small businesses are at risk from the millennium bug. The problem starts with the internal clock built into the Intel chip. Compound this with old software and there is a major problem in the making. Even some new software such as Quicken, NetWare, and Lotus have Y2K bugs, which need fixing before the clock resets to 00. The people at JD Consulting here cover not just hardware and software issues but also legal issues and how to hire a consultant. Geared to the nonexpert personal or small-business user, this book will circulate widely for the next 12 months. Before it leaves the building, it should be read by local librarians running computer systems.

Customer Reviews & Comments
This book, unlike others I checked out, actually tells you how this will affect your computer. As a network administrator, I found this book a useful preparation guide as it covers the computer, OS, Network OS, applications, etc. Other books on this subject tend to give you the "big" picture, as in this is what will happen to your bank, this is how you set up a corporate y2k project if you are in management, etc. I don't really care about that stuff. This gives you the nuts and bolts.
