Y2K in Your Computer and You Only Bought It Last Year....S. Dancer November 28, 1999
According to Parade Magazine, November 28, 1999, "A year ago half of all computer manufacturers were still shipping units infected with the bug."

It seems impossible. But, this quote comes from Michael Hyatt who wrote The Millennium Bug and The Y2K Personal Survival Guide.

To protect your computer, Mr. Hyatt suggests doing the following:

Make backup disks.
Visit the Website of your computer's manufacturer and see if your model is Y2K ready.
Download a free test: http://www.rightime.com http://www.ontrack.com/

Contact software companies for free Y2K patches.

Buy software that flushes out and repairs the bug: http://www.symantec.com/ OR http://www.pcfix2000.com/
