Beyond Computing Magazine - November December issueviews the Y2k problem
with an examination of 10 myths.   - Author Maria Behan

Myth 1: The Y2000 bug is just a mainframe problem. 

Myth 2: You're safe if your applications are Y2000 compliant.

Myth 3: You're finished when your own house is clean.

Myth 4: There's no need to call in the lawyers. There's a legal Catch 22
to Y2000 compliance.

Myth 5: You have to go it alone. 

Myth 6: Working on a Y2000 project is a dull, thankless job. 

Myth 7: Maintaining the status quo is enough.

Myth 8: No one outside your company cares about your Y2000  compliance. 

Myth 9: Time is on your side.

Myth 10: January 1, 2000, will be just another day. 
  "You have to assume that something's going to go wrong on January 1, 2000"




Happy Holiday Season
