COVER STORY:

* RU Y2K OK?
How to exterminate the year 2000 bug.
"Imagine, for a moment, a possible scenario for the first day of school
next January: Administrative computer systems scramble student records.
Heating and ventilation systems shut down. Districtwide computer
networks grind to a halt. Security doors won't open. Voice mail systems
fall silent. Payroll and accounting systems print nonsense numbers --
and the staff doesn't get paid. Houston, we have a Y2K problem."
