'Byte Magazine (July, 1998) has as its cover story: "Year 2000 Survival Guide." It was written by their senior technical editor, Edmund X. DeJesus. It's a comprehensive, lengthy, and well-written article aimed at the IT professional. It takes a rationally-alarmist stance as it covers the scope of Y2K problems and their basic solutions, along with a section on contingency planning. I liked the opening paragraph: "The ship is your company. The iceberg is January 1, 2000 -- Black Saturday. The good news is that you can see it coming. The bad news is that you're heading right for it. The worse news is that you can't turn in time. Now what?"
