Y2K / The Millennium Bug’s Most Obvious Effects :
An 8 page paper discussing the average person’s perception
of the effects of the Year 2000 computer date problem.
Though the problem can be postponed for 50 years with
relative ease for most applications, it still remains likely that
there will be short-term problems for the individual
associated with the turn of the century. Some appliances may
not work or not work properly; computer-controlled building
maintenance systems may require manual overrides in order
to be heated or to have functional elevators; small banks may
find data either corrupted or completely gone; grocery stores
may temporarily revert to individual pricing and may need to
resort to calculators, rather than cash registers, at the
checkout. There is no doubt that it will be a nightmare for
those businesses and government agencies unprepared for it,
but the individual should be affected to a much lesser degree.

author looks at the problem in terms of governmental,

Y2K : In 5 pages the author discusses the Y2K
Millenium
Bug, which affects computers everywhere. The year 2000
Millenium Bug is a big problem. Why? Because everyone's
lives are intertwined with computers and computer usage. A
person goes to the grocery store and the scanner is
automated. Computers are built in to the cash registers. A
person gets his or her phone or electric bill. Those bills are
computerized. Automobiles are computerized. Large
corporations and small businesses alike depend on computers
for their daily functioning. Many items contain computer
chips, which people don't even think of as computerized.

Y2k / Aviation Management & the Y2K Issue / The FAA
and The Economic Impact : The Y2K problem has had
widespread attention in business journals and the news
media, but little has been said about the specific impacts for
particular industries. Though speculators have asserted that
the Y2K problem could have widespread impacts for
transportation, especially in the aviation industry, arguments
that these speculations are the perceptions of alarmists and
don’t actually represent the scope of the issue has resulted in
ineffectual or limited responses by financial managers in
major airlines and aviation companies across the nation. This
25 page paper reflects the nature of this problem, provides a
review of the current literature, and argues for the most
successful plans to address this problem, especially for
financial managers in the aviation industry. Bibliography
