Year 2000 has spawned thousands of article and books.
The best explanation of year 2000 I've seen is the
Wells Fargo publication, "Countdown to Year 2000."
It explains the problem and how your business should
solve it and plan the project. It also contains good
examples of tables and graphics. I learned a new
buzzword - the triage principle.
