Text is well-organized and understandable. Good appendices. However, free CD sampler has a few annoying features where software may change system files. Of course, you really don't get fix-it routines but you see glimpses of other proprietary software.

This book, unlike others I checked out, actually tells you how this will affect your computer. As a network administrator, I found this book a useful preparation guide as it covers the computer, OS, Network OS, applications, etc. Other books on this subject tend to give you the "big" picture, as in this is what will happen to your bank, this is how you set up a corporate y2k project if you are in management, etc. I don't really care about that stuff. This gives you the nuts and bolts.

I think the book is very well written. I am not a computer wiz and found the information easy to read and the instructions easy to follow. I never realized that the Year 2000 was such a big problem until I started reading about it in the newspaper. I began researching ways to check my computer and found this book to be the easiest to understand. There is plenty of info for everyone. A big plus was the CD. I would highly recommend this to anyone who needs help with their computer.
