Many governmental officials have spoken to the public on the topic of Y2K for the purpose of not creating any panic to the communities. Unfortunately, this governmental approach on the problem is provoking a passive attitude and creating a false sense of security within Citizens with respect to this extremely vital issue! Do not be deceived! How much do you really know about the year 2000 computer crisis? Take a look at the following statements made by the U.S. Senator Robert F. Bennett (R-Utah), Chairman of the Senate Special Committee on the Year 2000 Technology Problem: "The financial services industry is particularly susceptible to the Year 2000 problem. Without reliable systems... interest could be miscalculated, stock trades could vanish, and customers could have difficulty accessing their account balances or their credit cards." The Year 2000 problem -- or the inability of computers to recognize dates beyond 1999 -- could potentially cause national and worldwide computer systems to shut down or make major mistakes at the beginning of the next century". "While I do hope the FAA is doing as well as it says, experience has taught me to be suspicious of easy answers and quick fixes," he added. "One example is the recent overstatement by the Department of Defense, exposed when its Inspector General reported that 70 percent of the mission critical systems the department deemed to be Y2K compliant were, in fact, not." Take a look at the following statement relating to the business community: "Businesses that fail to properly correct their systems could be committing corporate suicide," Bennett said. "The biggest Y2K headache of all could be the legal fees and lawsuits that cripple America's employers and working people long after the Y2K bug has been chased from computer hardware and software."
