Do you have
a home computer or a small business with a computer? You have
undoubtedly read or heard information about the upcoming new century
and are wondering if you need to do something to help your PC make
the transition into the year 2000. This site is constructed to help
you answer that question, and to help you sort fact from fiction.
The way that your computer system will be affected by the year
2000 will depend not only on the equipment and software that you
have, but on the way you use your PC and rely on it. If you only use
your PC to play games, you probably won't need to be concerned about
year 2000 issues. On the other hand, if you use your PC for managing
finances or to store important date-sensitive information, you may
want to learn more to determine if your particular system is at
riskùand what you can do to minimize that risk.
