You can take advantage of the Y2K problem by participating in the company committee designated to handle Y2K inquiries and solutions. Or, if your company doesn't have such a committee, suggest they create one. A walk through your office might even turn up additional suspects that need checking. Then, turn off your computer and let it rest for 30 minutes. Additional checking might include contacting the manufacturer or technical support to find out if the product is Y2K compliant.
Software also needs checking.
Keep track of your progress by writing memos to your Y2K file indicating what checked out, what changes need to be made, who you talked to and what they said. This documentation may prove important later. You may want to contact the companies with which your firm does business to find out how they're getting ready for December 31, 1999. Again, keep notes in your file, just in case. Another way to take advantage of the Y2K opportunity is to create a brochure for your clients or other departments within your company to show how to check for compliance.
