Y2K / What Does It All Mean? : 21 pages in length. It has
been the center of concern and conversation for years; the buzz
it has created is unprecedented. For an outsider to assess the
situation, one would have no doubt that the world was truly
going to come to an end at precisely midnight, January 1, 2000.
What is all the furor surrounding this particular date? In a
word: Y2K. All throughout the 1990's -- and even earlier than
that -- the world's businesses and governments have been
focused upon the very possible shutdown of all computerized
systems when the new millennium arrives. It seems quite
illogical that the mere changing of a year can instigate such a
momentous situation; however, as the century is finally coming
to a close, people are beginning to realize that there is more
than just a little bit of truth to the impending crash. The writer
discusses a wide range of topics in relation to the Y2K bug,
with particular emphasis upon the banking industry.

overview of the predicted computer/communications

biases. However, the larger view is taken of “mainstream” date
coding problems, and considers audit cases and costs.

problem. Bibliography lists 15 sources. Y2kcris.wps

Y2K / Can The Y2K Problem Be Solved In Time? :
10 pages in length. Time has run out. No longer can the world
sit idly by in a false sense of security believing that the Y2K
problem will be solved prior to reaching midnight on January
1, 2000. Despite intensive displays of technical modification,
it can be argued that mankind waited just a bit too long before
he truly realized the ramifications of not paying closer attention
to the Year 2000 bug. Now that the new millennium is merely
months away, the writer discusses the last ditch effort being
made on behalf of all the computer systems still out there in
circulation that have not been made Year 2000 compliant -- and
how many of those are systems that control the very
commodities people need to exist. Bibliography lists 9
