Internet Browsers Telecommunications
Capabilities : An 8 page paper discussing the abilities of the products of the two
most popular Internet browsers providers, Microsoft and Netscape. As the browsers increase

root of that ease of use and user-friendliness is a solid grounding in communications
abilities, and the way chosen by the consumer could well be put off until after the
millennium. After that, the mechanics of kinds and types of tasks the browsers will be
firmly set unless the browsers evolve into their own class of operating system. Otherwise,
their prime point of competition could well become centered in their telecommunications
abilities. Bibliography lists 10 sources. Browsers.wps

Y2K / What Does It All Mean? : 21
pages in length. It has been the center of concern and conversation for years; the buzz it
has created is unprecedented. For an outsider to assess the situation, one would have no
doubt that the world was truly going to come to an end at precisely midnight, January 1,
2000. What is all the furor surrounding this particular date? In a word: Y2K. All
throughout the 1990's -- and even earlier than that -- the world's businesses and
governments have been focused upon the very possible shutdown of all computerized systems
when the new millennium arrives. It seems quite illogical that the mere changing of a year
can instigate such a momentous situation; however, as the century is finally coming to a
close, people are beginning to realize that there is more than just a little bit of truth
to the impending crash. The writer discusses a wide range of topics in relation to the Y2K
bug, with particular emphasis upon the banking industry. Bibliography lists 20 sources. TLC_Y2K.wps

: 10 pages in length. Time has run out. No longer can the world sit idly by in a false
sense of security believing that the Y2K problem will be solved prior to reaching midnight
on January 1, 2000. Despite intensive displays of technical modification, it can be argued
that mankind waited just a bit too long before he truly realized the ramifications of not
paying closer attention to the Year 2000 bug. Now that the new millennium is merely months
away, the writer discusses the last ditch effort being made on behalf of all the computer
systems still out there in circulation that have not been made Year 2000 compliant -- and
how many of those are systems that control the very commodities people need to exist.

Y2K / The Millennium Bugs Most Obvious
Effects : An 8 page paper discussing the average persons perception of the
effects of the Year 2000 computer date problem. Though the problem can be postponed for 50
years with relative ease for most applications, it still remains likely that there will be
short-term problems for the individual associated with the turn of the century. Some
appliances may not work or not work properly; computer-controlled building maintenance
systems may require manual overrides in order to be heated or to have functional
elevators; small banks may find data either corrupted or completely gone; grocery stores
may temporarily revert to individual pricing and may need to resort to calculators, rather
than cash registers, at the checkout. There is no doubt that it will be a nightmare for
those businesses and government agencies unprepared for it, but the individual should be
affected to a much lesser degree. Bibliography lists 8 sources. Millbug.wps

making that must include specialized experts as well as be expanded to include all
