I think with all the attention Y2K has gotten the US will be pretty ready for the comming date change. However world wide I am not certain. Those people who are living without the aid of computers will probably not be affected. But those that are that haven't had the opportunity to do anything, well they might just have a problem. However, Here, it can never hurt to be prepared for 'something'. If not Y2K any disaster can be a temporary setback on people's lifestyles.

Cheryl: You are a one-woman researching wonder. Wow! I think we're on top of this Microsoft thing. In answer to both of your questions... <P.S. Where's that CD that Microsoft told us about in March?? Anyone get their CD yet? ... "Microsoft will soon distribute CD-ROM versions of Microsoft's Y2K product guide. It lists products that are Y2K ready. The CDs that will be produced every quarter will target IT specialists." cnnfn.com Here's a CD for people not on the net: Consumers without Web access can order a "Year 2000 Resource CD." The CD is free, but shipping and handling is about $6. The CD may take up to six weeks to be mailed. To request the CD, call Microsoft toll-free at (888) MSFTY2K (673-8925). expressnews.com Saturday, Jun 5,1999> I have actually gotten my hands on one of these 'free' CDs. They are the exact same material that is on the Microsoft Web site. They make no sense for anyone who has an Internet connection, since the info is never going to be as current as what is on the Web. I'm going to check out the new consumer Y2K site and get back to everyone later. Christine
