The year 2000 bug can affect you at home and at work. Here are a few ways to make sure you're protected:
|
 |
1. |
If you're a home PC user, test your hardware and software. Download free quick-testing software like Y2K Test, or, better yet, do a thorough test with a Y2K utility such as Check 2000 PC Deluxe.
|
|
2. |
If you're a business owner, have your IS department check all your PCs and servers for compliance. If you don't have the resources in-house, hire a consulting service like the Gartner Group.
|
|
3. |
Contact everyone with whom you do business--your employer, bank, and broker for personal use; your suppliers for business--to be sure there will
be no interruption of service.
|
|
4. |
At home and at work, be sure to keep paper records of all transactions in case data gets lost.
