| Sumario: | According to experts, a programming oversight in many of the nation's computers could result in widespread computer malfunction at midnight on December 31, 1999. The Millennium Bug, which is also known as Y2K, is caused by computer designs and applications that use just 2 digits to record calendar years. When these computers' date files read 00 at the start of the year 2000, computers will read the year as 1900. This will render date-related calculations false and will potentially crash operations worldwide. The solution to Y2K is discussed in terms of inventory, conversion, and testing.
