Time is Running Out
Y2K is approaching, but it's not too late...If you hurry!
With less than six months to go, there is still much speculation on how extensive businesses will be affected by the computer Y2K bug. The National Federation of Independent Business estimates that more than 80 percent of American small businesses are potentially exposed to Y2K problems. Yet, there are many businesses that are not taking any precautions. Three-fifths of them don't understand the problem, or they are aware of the problem but do not plan to take any action prior to the year 2000.
Time is Running Out—Y2K is approaching, but it's not too late… if you hurry! explains how you can make sure your computer is 2000 compliant. Written by Dave Kneib, NFDA's online coordinator, it includes information on several Web sites created by computer and software manufacturers that explain the Y2K bug and how to determine if your computer equipment will work after December 31, 1999.
