Millenium doom

Article Abstract:

Year 2000 problem expert Robin Guenier believes that it is already too late for companies to devise solutions for all their systems. Thus, they should be aware that they can be held liable for losses resulting from these failures and begin developing ways to address the legal consequences of the problem.
