good description of year 2000 computer problems

This is the first book I ever read concerning Year 2000 problems and solutions. It was very easy to read and very interesting. Humorous!!!!Took my fears away and gave me a better idea of what can really happen if organizations don't pick there socks and change the inevitable. This book tells me that the Year 2000 problem is really a challenge for everyone to get involved in. I sure will try to be in a safe place midnight January 1, 2000. I think I will be ready because I am aware of the endless possibilites of problems. Therefore I will definitely avoid some of them. :} I will not be in an airplane, a car, an elevator and near any mechanisim that requires computer chips. I think I'll be in a log cabin with a wood stove.:} I have talked to people about the Year 2000 problems but alot of people don't care. They will care when it affects them. When the elevator doesn't work, their car quits in the middle of the highway, or their cheque does not go through the banking system as they espected. It's gonna be quite a sight. No lights, no electricity. :}
