The single best book on Year 2000 for IT professionals

As a consultant in this field, I've read a lot of Year 2000 books, but this is the book that started it all. More IT organizations around the world use its practical information as a basis for their projects than any other source. The book came out in 1997, so new material has appeared since, but the methods remain true. The authors have another equally good book to add a non-IT prospective.

The best book I've found for teaching about the Y2k problem

This informative book was both helpful and relevant without being to vebose. The information was presented in a straightforward and captivating manner, and it really fit my needs.

easy reading - lots of information - well written

I started to read this book to find out more about Y2K. I was totally amazed by what I read in the first few pages. I could not put the book down for to long before I got curious to know more. My fears and anxieties were triggered but I would rather know about this so I can prepare for Y2K and be ready for the worst scenario than ignore what could happen until its to late. Preparation is practical and necessary. Thanks for the information.
