I was wondering if anyone is interested in talking about the millennium
bug??  I am finding wide spread ignorance about the issue even from those
who are computer literate.

Please don't come back and say there is no problem, check the web, read the
papers, you will find a wealth of information.  However don't ask a
motherboard manufacturer to tell you whether or not the board you purchased
is hardware millennium compliant!!

The Australian government is working slowly to provide for their own
position but have once again left small businesses out in the dark.  There
are a variety of issues when looking at the problem, but I am specifically
interested in the one concerning PC's.

I have started a Brisbane based company that imports a very affordable
hardware fix, not a software utility, but a card that fits any ISA slot. 
We also have a software program that will test your hardware to help you
determine whether or not your computer will roll over to the year 2000
correctly.

If you're interested in the products we will have a web page up and running
shortly, but you can email me for further information.

Here's to cyber space!
