Featuring Bill Nye, the Science Guy
The Microsoft Guide for Preparing Your Home Personal Computer for the Year 2000 is designed to help you, the consumer, understand and test your home PC or small business PC for year 2000 readiness. There are three areas you need to be aware of and test.
Hardware: The hardware part of the PC is essentially the foundation upon which everything else is based.
Software; Software programs are the computer software tools that allow you to get specific types of work done.
Personal Data: Personal data files include documents, spreadsheets, financial records, and other data you have stored on a disk with a filename.
The way that your computer system will be affected by the year 2000 will depend not only on the hardware and software that you have, but on the way you use your PC and rely on it. Enjoy watching this helpful video, and if you have any questions, visit our website.
