5.0 out of 5 stars
Excellent, knowledgeable perspective on a complex issue,
By A Customer
Amazon Verified Purchase(What's this?)
This review is from: The Year 2000 Hoax (Paperback)
This book is very readable and to the point. It provides a good introduction to the uninformed and causes those that think they understand it to reevaluate. He exposes the financial/political motives underlying much of the Y2K hype. Those that know the real severity of the problem are also those that benefit financially by it's being perceived as a BIG problem. I wish this book had been written 2 years ago, before so many were scared by the extremist books.

This book got rid of my Y2K fears.,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Year 2000 Hoax (Paperback)
This book gave me the background I needed to learn why there is a computer scare and it also told me what is being done about it. I learned who really benefits from the panic, who is creating it and why it's not the problem everyone thinks it is. Good job Alan.
