Arethere any web sites that provide information on the y2k problem?

yes, but not much available yet as far as i know. try these ideas: 1. buy ed yourdon's book, "La Bomba de Tempo del 2000" available from Prentice Hall Hispanoamericana. bookstores can order it, or try online at http://www.amazon.com. 2. deJager site has several articles in spanish at http://www.year2000.com/y2karchive.html. 3. try United Nations at http://www.un.org/spanish. didn't see y2k. 4. try World Bank at http://www.worldbank.org/y2k/pages/english/usgov.htm for list of U.S. gov't sites. some may have info in spanish. 5. try Organization of American States at http://www.oas.org/defaultS.asp. 6. do a search using keywords "y2k" or "a2k" or "a2m" or "year 2000" in spanish at http://www.dogpile.com.

start with #6. then try #1 and 2. # 3-5 may not have much info now, but will as time goes by. also try specific government departments and state and federal gov't sites for info. if you find something really good, you should post it here in english and also send an email to ed yourdon about it.

my brain must have taken a vacation, because i forgot to tell you to search using Altavista. let's try again.

1. try http://www.altavista.com. then choose spanish language search. these are the results i got a few minutes ago, using the following keywords: y2k--2006 documents. a2k--42 docs. a2m--15 docs.

2. try http://www.dogpile.com for documents that OTHER search engines will find for you. try keywords: a2k and a2m because there will be too many under y2k.

remember to make sure you use lowercase or small letters in your keywords, for best results. let us know what you find.
