Y2K bug spawns host of cures
Everybody's got a fix for the Year 2000 bug. And I do mean everybody.
Big companies, little companies, companies whose only address is a post office box in the Bahamas.

Pretty soon, Y2K solutions are going to be sold on street corners, stacked on wobbly card tables next to pirate copies of Mulan. They'll pop up on late-night infomercials with celebrity endorsers: ''Hi, I'm Bea Arthur and boy do I have a Year 2000 solution for you.''
''Everyone's getting bombarded,'' says Timothy Scudder, a vice president at Gartner Group. ''The problem is, it's difficult to know what's real and what's not.'' |
