No one has all the answers:
But we can help.
Your computer
When the year. 2000 rolls around, your personal
computer could get confused. It could start to
read the year 2000 as the year 1900. Essentially,
*that's -the Millennium Bug. Lots of other, electronic,_._..
devices could catch it too, but your Computer
is the most vulnerable. Hardware, software,
operating systems, data — all could be affected.
So could printers, modems, and scanners. We
can show you how to test your computer for
possible Year 2000 difficulties. And we can help
.you to find out which pro acs and suppliers are
Bug -free.
Your finances •
Canada's banks, other deposit -taking institu-
tions and related organizations such as VISA,
MasterCard, and the. lnterac. Association
expectto have their technology fully prepared.
They are developing back-up systems and
contingency 'plans to deal with any unforeseen
events. If you -have questions, you should
contact your financial institution.
Your household appliances
You probably don't have to worry about your
appliances. The 'Bug will hit only those that
depend on dates to work properly. If you can
unplug an appliance and then turn it back on
without having to reset anything, it should
be OK. None of your equipment should stop
working altogether. But timing devices could
be a problem on some VCRs, fax machines,
security alarms, digital thermostats, answering -
machines,. and video and digital cameras. We
can help.you to get Year .2600 information
supplied byappliance retailers and manufacturers:
Your car
Manufacturers say. it is highly unlikely that the
Bug will cause .car problems. We can show you
what several of the major car manufacturers
have to say about the Bug' and their -products.
Don't wait until you have a problem to
begin finding out about•the Year 2000 Bug.
Start now! Watch for the Millennium Bug
