| Thanks everyone for your attendance tonight despite the frigid temperatures
and iffy roads. Happy Holidays to everyone!!
As we have talked about on and off throughout the year, most
of our computers and software will survive the new year change. You
can review my "Tip of the
Month" to read a short recap on how to test your computer for compliance
and also see some links to other large Y2K sites.
Also, please refer to these individual vendor sites to see if any software
you currently own needs updating. Make sure that you read about your
particular version specifically AND about the parts of the software that
might not be compliant (in some cases, you won't care if some esoteric
function is not compliant).

Intuit-

definitions
are up to date before the end
of the year as well.
