| RiskWorld has compiled the following on-line resources regarding the Year 2000 computer problem, in which computer software programs that record dates using only the last two digits of the year potentially could fail if "00" were read as "1900" in the new millenium. These web sites contain information on Y2K risks, corporate disclosure requirements, reprogramming efforts, legal issues, and solutions. (Editor's note: To submit a web site to this listing for consideration, contact Amy Reed, e-mail reed@tec-com.com.) |
