Dear Yourdonites,

I am in the position to give info. to newbies to y2k many times a day. I am attempting to develop easy desk reference page(S) with URLS to good y2k sites to use in accomplishing this task. I came to you because I believe that you folks are very knowledgable on the subject. If you contribute to this thread, be assured that you will be helping at least 6 newbies a day. (And perhaps some not-so-newbies too- in larger numbers.)

Thank you so much to anyone who contributes useful info. to this thread. I plan to post a brief summary of the results at a later time.

Good morning Watchful. I agree, here is the best starting point. There are so many Y2K sites, and so much news these days, you would have a long list indeed. Here we have people like DIane and Kevin and many others that can direct newbies to other sites that may interest them, as well as the established archive. <:)=
