"Of all the emergency preparation books I've seen over the years, this is one of the best. Why? Because this isn't just a book of lists. It also explains a great deal about emergency items, their pros and cons. The book goes on to provide sources for everything listed." - Nick Harder, Knight Ridder Tribune News on The Complete Y2K Home Preparation Guide by Ed Yourdon and Robert Roskind.

5.0 out of 5 stars Everything you need to know to prepare yourself for collapse, Feb 3 2000

By A Customer

This review is from: The Complete Y2K Home Preparation Guide (Paperback)

Y2K is gonna be here any second now. Remember, folks, just because nothing happened doesn't mean that nothing is gonna happen. Ed Yourdon is a bona-fide computer expert, not just some formerly-respected expert who gave up all semblences of respectability and credability in the aim of getting his name on the lips of every preparedness wacko on shortwave!

By the way, does anyone wanna buy 500 cans of spam?

For the title of your sequel, I suggest "the rise and resurrection of the Y2K bug"

This review is from: The Complete Y2K Home Preparation Guide (Paperback)

This book really disappointed me it really did'nt have anything that jumped out at me, that made me say "O - I forgot about this" maybe because I'm a SysAdmin I might be more up to date than most. If your lacking common sense then buy this book, but with 30 days or so till 2000 its almost a mute point now.

3.0 out of 5 stars Should have left the word 'complete' out of the title
This companion book to 'Time Bomb 2000' was somewhat disappointing. Right in the introduction, there is a chart of things to do 'on New Years Eve day (or before)'. Read more
