From the supplier: The Year 2000 (Y2K) computer date change problem poses a serious challenge to business organizations. Also known as the millenium bug, this software flaw could cause computer systems to collapse because their programs store only the last two digits of a year and therefore would not be able to distinguish between 1900 and 2000. With the approach of the turn of the century, chief executives are scrambling to make their systems Y2K compliant. They are implementing a variety of solutions, including correcting millions of lines of code and contracting out their information technology operations. To succeed, efforts to resolve the Y2K problem should involve good technology people and have the support of the CEO.

Very amusing in hind-sight
Written with good intention, however, the authors got ahead of themselves. Contents include what to stock in your pantry to survive the millenium crash, as well as how to negotiate looting and pillaging. Sorry grandma, but that's just too funny. ... Read more

This is the book that got me started two years ago.
I would like to thank the author for this book as it is the first one I read on Y2K. It got me started on researching the problem and learning about the metals and investing. After reading a few other Y2K relatedinvestment books (my favorite is The Survivors Guide to the year 2000 byDavid Epp also available on Amazon.com. I heard him on Tony's radioprogram) I am making over 20 percent per month in the market. If what theseguys predict comes true I expect to win the lottery in a few more months.And I won't be the first one they have helped become a millionaire.

The financial info you need to make intelligent choices
The Year 2000 has been dumped in all our laps. Tony's message is loud and clear.Understand how you can be impacted, and take the necessary actions.He not only explains what is going to happen, but why it is going tohappen.He offers a variety of scenarios that the reader can take toinsure his or her financial health, post 2000. This is a source book formany of the articles andthoughts of the experts.

Very helpful outline of situation; author's credibility high
Just saw the author on CSPAN with Sen. Horn and Koskinen from the WhiteHouse - an excellent program. Keyes describes the Y2K situation in arefreshing; 'I'm learning, too' style so that average people canunderstand.I also appreciated that he refers to established, well-knownexperts to make a point so we're not expected to rely on his observationsalone. I think the errors mentioned by another reviewer are from thetranscripts of live conversations from Keyes' radio program -understandable when considering he's talked to a wide variety of expertswith varying degrees of comfort on the air.

General information on what "investment attitude" to take
Good general information about what attitude you should take in dealing with investments. The most notable information was a small piece of hidden information about the 400 year leap year adjustement that is also due in the year 2000. I wish I had more information about this topic.

"buy gold, y2k stocks, sell everything else" - what's new?
not much new in this book.it contains little new info on the y2k problem, and nothing that is not immediately obvious in terms of investment alternatives.ok, there is a year 2000 problem and it may cause economic disruptions. but, like every other crisis - the best way to get rich is to write a book about getting rich. save your money!! ...

From the supplier: Emergency management experts who participated at a House hearing in Congress opined that people ought to deal with the year 2000 computer date transition (Y2K) crisis by being prepared to handle minor breakdowns in basic services rather than steeling themselves against an anticipated major catastrophe. Society cannot lightly dismiss the Y2K issue as billions of dollars have already been spent to address the problem. However, hoarding, taking money from banks and evacuating to a safe place are rather extreme responses to the problem.

From the supplier: The year 2000 and the unprecedented problem of the year 2000 computer date transition (Y2K) with its potential for disaster and chaos requires well thought out corporate strategic planning. Strategic planning, however, is a deceptively simple activity and far too many CEOs attempt to plan for the future basing their projections only on the past. Scenario planning is a technique which will enable these CEOs to evaluate several different but possible situations in which their organizations might find themselves in the future. They then identify strategic solutions which work across these distinct situations to ultimately develop and define a core planning set. The potential efficacy of scenario planning is demonstrated in a plausible corporate situation covering the years 1998 up to 2005.

Lots of personal opinion
I bought this years ago. I had read one of Ms. Ali's books before (How not to eat pork, I think) and I was intrigued by her writing style and forward speaking. With this particular book it has some common sense lessons in it, mixed with a lot of NOI opinionated overtones. I can respect her beliefs, but at times it was too much. ... Read more

From the supplier: The Supreme Court sided with the employers with regard to the issue of the coverage of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The court ruled that employees with physical conditions that can be corrected with simple measures do not qualify as disabled under ADA. Hence, employers cannot be sued for discrimination if they will not accept people with these impairments. Meanwhile. Pres Clinton is scheduled to sign the Year 2000 computer liability bill passed by Congress. The bill provides employers time to correct damages that malfunctioning computer systems caused before they can be sued.

From the supplier: Interim workarounds will work effectively in the event that vendors cannot provide an organization with a Y2K compliant upgrade to computer systems in time. First, date-sensitive activities such as dues billing and subscription renewals should be identified. Second, core modules which include accounts receivable, membership and general ledger, and additional nodules should be acquired. Finally, objectivity through the interim workarounds will bring into focus changes that can improve the system.

From the supplier: The food industry has been slow to react in addressing the year 2000 computer date transition (Y2K) issue. However, the majority of the food industry has already spent considerable time and resources to achieve Y2K compliance and its efforts are expected to accelerate as the sector assesses suppliers' Y2K readiness. The industry supply chain will most probably get bloated with safety inventories to a certain extent as consumers, retailers and food manufacturers stock up for an uncertain future later in 1999.

From the supplier: The year 2000 computer problem affects Geographic Information Systems (GIS) in many different ways. Due to the limitations of the two-digit year field, differentiation between dates for 1900 and 2000 are difficult or impossible. This will affect data on GIS licenses, permits, annexation and taxation records, and construction scheduling. GIS users should test their hardware and software for year 2000 compliance.
