| The most
important thing you can do is to increase your understanding of the
year 2000 issue as it relates to your personal computer and the
software programs you use. You'll then be in a better position to
consider your own system, determine which areas may be at risk,
andùbased on how you use your PCùchoose the actions that make the
most sense for you.
Making sure your PC is ready for the year 2000 means considering
each area of your PC systemùall within the context of how you use
and rely on your computer. There truly is no one-size-fits-all
solution for year 2000 PC readiness.
You may also want to adopt some "best practices" date-handling
habits, such as consistently using four-digit
years in your work. Two-digit year
shortcuts are always susceptible to inaccurate
interpretation, and this possibility can be eliminated by changing
the way that you regularly specify dates. Adopting recommended "best
practices" will help to minimize your risk regarding date
handlingùboth now and in the future. |
