On New Years day, 2000, millions of internal computer calendars will read the date as 1/1/00. But the computer won't know that "00" indicates the year 2000 and not 1900. The result could be sheer chaos for accounting and all date tracking, followed by financial disaster. Even cars and refrigerators with computer components may be affected. Jim Keogh examines the frightening scope and complexity of the Year 2000 Problem and shows how businesses, organizations, government agencies, and financial institutions can protect against catastrophe--one computer at a time.
Kurzbeschreibung
When people began writing computer software in the 1950s and 1960s, many thought the computer systems they built would become obsolete and soon be put out of existence. Therefore, to save computing time and memory, the year 1900 was represented as "00". Unfortunately, when 2000 arrives, it will also be "00". Therein lies the beginning of the problem. It is made worse by the fact that simply changing dates doesn't solve the real problem - computer programmers use dates in many ways, so much so that the only solution is for programmers to look at their code. Reviewing all code that a corporation has developed is a huge task. This text offers a brief yet thorough explanation of what the year 2000 problem is, how it came about, and its urgency in the worldwide arena. It examines the costs involved to correct the problem and the dangers of not correcting it at all. The author also discusses what to look for and where to look for it, and offers solutions that will keep any organization - business or government - well into the next century. The book offers a five-step process to handle the change to the year 2000.

As a Y2K professional, I had high hopes for this book - it was the first 'mass market' book that I had run across regarding the Year 2000 dilema. After reading nearly 100 pages of little but potential horror stories for January 1, 2000, I had no more Y2K project management insight than I could get (for free) from Peter DeJager's home page, www.year2000.com. I was, however, siezed by the urge to immediately clean out all of my bank accounts and hunker down in a remote wilderness cabin with a manual can opener (no damn computer chips in an electric can opener standing between me and my spagettio's) and my Y2K compliant shotgun.
"Solving the Year 2000 Problem" presents a plethora of fodder for marketing presentations. Anyone in the Y2K seminar business should be buying caseloads of this book and passing them out as freebies to potential clients. But don't be tempted to buy this book on the basis of constructing a Y2K project. It doesn't quite cut the mustard in that regard.
I would recommend the following book as a primer for Y2K project management:
"The Year 2000 Software Crisis: Challenge of the Century", by Wm. M. Ulrich and Ian S. Hayes, published by Yourden Press Computing Series.

Interesting but inaccurate

I agree with the reviews that mentioned that this book is simple and that it contains good anecdotes for presentations. But it is simple to a fault: when he actually starts trying to provide solutions like his "bridge program" on p170, most of them have terrible errors ("IF this two digit number is greater than 99, THEN...", etc). I recommend Ulrich and Hayes "The Year 2000 Software Crisis" instead.
A thoughtful introduction to Y2K, but little more.

I don't think there is any book that can match this in simplicity, clarity and professionalism.
Jim keogh is the best writer on the subject.
