A good, practical guide

I found this book very informative and practical. I particularly liked the emphasis on using your head and not making silly decisions because of all the hype.Lots of good information throughout.

Good enough for my husband to steal

I bought the book after having seen the book featured in TIME magazine. It was well worth the it. My husband had not been interested in hearing or reading anything about Y2K saying that the whole thing was overblown. He picked-up the book after I received it and he couldn't put it down - I haven't seen it since. I found out today he has now loaned it to a friend, so I am buying myself another copy, but I am having it sent to my office this time!

Clearly and humorously tells all you need to survive Y2K.

Dr. Shepard's book on the Y2K situation is well titled, as it truly is a very practical guide to what we will be facing just one short year from today. It has been thoroughly researched and is complete in its scope. An even more important point to my mind is the "easy read" style and theuser-friendly layout of the book. The nature of this subject produces anxiety so I especially appreciated the clear writing style and humor that invited me to continue in my education on this fast approaching challenge. I found a concise description of the problems keyed to specific areas of life; the examples that allowed me to focus on those that apply to me; the preparations I can make to mitigate the shock of these problems; and some creative solutions if I do find myself caught up in their impact. I now have reason to hope that with my heightened awareness and the proper preparations suggested in this book, I will get through the impact of the Y2K changeover in good shape and, with luck, even some grace. Thank you, Dr. Shepard!

A succint introduction to Y2K which is easy and enjoyable

Found the book or manual of hints on how to treat a variety of possible problems with Y2K. Not too wordy and technical that it becomes boring and loses sight of its audience and objectives which are to give hints and tell the novice of possible ways to look at these problems. Informative "Time Outs" which whet the appetite.
