Unfortunately, determining the solution to each individual's situation is well beyond the scope of this article. Included at the end of this article is a list of links that may be able to help you on your search for solutions.

But just taking care of our own systems isn't good enough. Ensure that your life will not be utter chaos when the clocks strike midnight on Dec. 1, 1999, by contacting all of the businesses that you work with. Banks, suppliers, creditors, and even customers need to be made aware of the situation at hand.

But if awareness were the solution, then the problem would already be taken care of. Each and every business, personal and financial contact that you entrust needs to be millennium-ready - not just aware. Try to make an effort to inquire at each of the busineses you frequent to see if they are millennium ready. A simple question, but one that can save you your livelihood.

The Millennium Bug is potentially very dangerous to all businesses, not just home based or small ones. However, with some excellent planning and a lot of teamwork, the Bug will be nothing more than an annoyance.
