Awakening: The Upside of Y2K

A collection of essays from people in ‘green business,’ community planning and the like which doesn’t understate the Y2K problem, but it doesn’t take the “buy gold and guns and head for the desert” approach of which so many people are enamored.

Mitigation (there’s that word again) is the watch word. Consider Y2K as an opportunity to look at what you, your company and community are doing. Figure out what will break on 2000-01-01. Out of that, what do you need? What can be fixed, and what can you replace with something better.

For example, my company decided to replace mainframe based A/R & P which aren’t Y2K ready with the first component of an ERP system.
