From the supplier: Legislation aimed at protecting corporations from the potential backlash of the millenium bug or Y2K has been effectively blocked by the Senate's decision to abandon discussions about the subject for an indefinite period of time.

Better get it fast...
Review from Legal Information ALERT, page 12, April 1999, Vol. 18, No. 4. Reviewed by Lisa Mecklenberg, Electronic Services Librarian, State Law Library of Montana, Helena, MT INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The Year 2000Computer Crisis: Law, Business, Technology. The Year 2000 is fastapproaching.Will you and your computers be prepared?The authors of thistimely book offer to help you answer that question by organizing their textin a logical, straightforward fashion.The book includes seven chapters,followed by a forms section, appendixes, a glossary, a bibliography, and anindex.The first chapter serves as an introduction to the technical issuesinvolved in creating a Y2K plan, with subsequent chapters focusing ondeveloping this plan, audits, the Y2K implementation process, contracts,Y2K litigation, and insurance. The fact that the intended audience islawyers highlights one of its strengths.By focusing on the legal aspectsof Y2K, Scott and Reid steer attorneys toward the production of appropriatecontacts, warranties, remedies, and performance standards.They alsosuggest ways to protect directors, officers, and companies from lawsuitsinvolving Y2K issues.To that end, the forms section is very good,featuring "Sample Year 2000 Compliance Agreements," a"Sample Complaint for Year 2000 Failures," and both hardware andsoftware inventory forms.Chapter 5, on contracts, contains helpful adviceon various Y2K agreements, including license agreements, supplieragreements, and Year 2000 consulting/remediation agreements. Scott and Reidalso address the availability of insurance coverage for Y2K liability, aswell as strategies, claims, and defenses that will be used by parties inY2K litigation.Both authors have a significant amount of practicalexperience in this area -Scott has 20 years of experience representing anumber of computer and software companies and Reid has served as alitigation strategist, an expert witness, and a special master in complexcomputer trial matters. Issued in looseleaf format, The Year 200 ComputerCrisis permits periodic updates as new Y2K developments occur -it includesa December 1998 update that expands the book by more than 200 pages.Anoteworthy feature is a series of checklists (i.e., awareness, assessment,implementation) to assist in the process of making a firm or business Y2Kready that are easy to follow and understand. The appendixes are also quietuseful, as several groups that have implemented the Y2K preparationprocedures outlined in the book are profiled.These include "A Year2000 Preliminary Analysis Report" prepared for the State of RhodeIsland and a Technical Note from the Federal Reserve Board on "TestingPersonal Computers for Year 2000 Compatibility."There is also ahelpful list of Year 2000 web sites. For those looking for a"hands-on," planning-to-take-care-of-the-office-crisis-yourselfguide to Y2K, this book may be frustrating, as it doesn't offer a nuts andbolts approach to making computers crisis-ready.For those, however, whowould like a comprehensive overview of the Y2K phenomenon and guidelines onhow to proceed with the handling of Y2K problems for clients, this bookwould be valuable.However, you better get it fast -many of theimplementation procedures for addressing Y2K problems should already havebeen initiated.It is also highly recommended for law firms, which mayactually have to litigate Y2K issues.

An enormously valuable tool to anyone assessing Y2K issues..
I was extremely impressed with the scope and quality of the book.Warren Reid is the most knowledgeable person I know with respect to the technical and practical business aspects of the Year 2000 problem and his willingnessto share his extensive experience and practical wisdom makes this book anenormously valuable tool to anyone assessing Y2K issues.Mike Scott hasalready established himself as one of the world's leading authorities oncomputer-related legal issues.By drawing on his many years of experiencewith the computer and multimedia industries, Mike provides legal andpractical insights into the Y2K legal issues that every lawyer involved inthe Y2K maelstrom will find extremely helpful....Congratulations onpublishing such a timely and useful work.

Entering the year 2000 is not going to be good for computers
I think when the year 2000 comes all tax payers are going to have to pay for the upage on the computers and I myself don't think that would be a good idea because they are going to raise a big arguement and lead to a badfight against the upage on this Y2K deal.It will go before a grand juryand loose the battle, then people will be mad.
