  As the millennium draws to a close, we all need to be prepared for the 21st century. Some experts expect the problems of Y2K to continue well into the year 2000.

The Year 2000 (Y2K) computer bug is a very real concern. I urge you to concern yourself with your readiness for the coming new year. Please know that we are prepared to address, explore and solve your computer related Y2K issues with you.


What is the Y2K bug?

In a nutshell, the Y2K problem is such that some computer hardware and software programs are not prepared to process with the correct date beginning 1/1/2000. At one time, computer memory was very expensive. A decision was made to save millions of dollars by eliminating two bytes of storage. Some computer systems, both hardware and software, cannot process a four digit year and simply assume that the first two digits are "1" and "9." For example, if your computer hardware is not Y2K compliant, then the system will report the date to be 1/1/1900 and the computer will assume it to be 1/1/1980! Sound confusing? Welcome to the millennium!


Some hardware and software solutions we have to offer:
We have software programs that test and confirm Y2K hardware compliance
We have access to computer manufacturer BIOS updates for Y2K compliance
We have software to remedy the hardware aspect of the Y2K compliance problem
We have excellent resources for Y2K compliant component and system replacements
We have access to specific software program updates for Y2K compliance.

Software manufacturers have been hard at work on the problem and most have solutions available. Whatever your concerns, big or small, we can help you solve them.
