HIGH STREET STORES SELLING COMPUTERSTHAT FAIL MILLENNIUM BUG TEST :: 
This press release is transmitted on behalf of Prove It 2000.  Britain's 
leading High Street retailers are selling millions of personal computers 
to unsuspecting consumers that contain significant defects in relation 
to the year 2000 computer Millennium-bug problem.   
A joint investigation between Prove It 2000, an independent 
computerauditing company based in Huntingdon, Cambridgeshire, and the 
Sunday Times has revealed that 80% of PCs tested in major outlets failed 
at least one Millennium compliancy test.   In all cases, in-store staff 
assured investigators, which included a US computer expert, that ALL PCs 
on sale were Millennium -compliant.Subsequent tests conducted in some 
cases with the aid of shop-floor staff -revealed this assurance to be 
unfounded. 
Richard Coppel, joint chief executive of Prove It 2000, said: 
''Ourresearch has revealed that personal computers are currently being  
manufacturedand sold with non-compliant Real Time Clocks. This means 
that there is asignificant likelihood that computer programmes run on 
these machines could crash or malfunction in the Year 2000.''   In all, 
26 PCs  were tested in London stores on Wednesday 12 November.Further 
tests were 
conducted on stores in Watford on Friday 14 November. Thisfollowed tests  
on 21 different PCs in Peterborough in July - in which all failed 
Millennium compliancy tests.   Retailers included Dixons, PC World, John 
Lewis,  Tempo, Tiny andHarrods.   The machines, chosen at random, 
included those  manufactured by the someof the largest PC manufacturers 
in the world.   
Machines tested and failed included models produced by Compaq,  Hewlett 
Packard, Viglen, Apricot and Olivetti. Significantly, all tested  models 
produced by IBM, Tulip Computers and Fujitsu passed all eight  
separatetests.   Richard Coppel added: ''The run up to Christmas is the 
busiest time ofyear for personal computer sales and it is surprising 
that these products arebeing offered for sale. And it is not just home 
users who may suffer - manysmall businesses rely on the High Street for 
their computer requirements.   ''Both the computer and retail industries 
are 
well aware of the problemsof the Year 2000 when it comes to software 
(the programmes that drive computers) but they are ignoring very real  
problems regarding computer hardware.   All PCs have an internal clock. 
This must be able to cope with the change to anew century. This is not  
the ease and nobody is listening.''   ''We believe that manufacturers  
and retailers of personal computers are exposing themselves to 
significant  danger in the courts if a customerwas to take legal 
action.''    Prove It 2000 is the country's leading Year 2000 computer 
consultancy,  specialising in audit and fixing programmes for the 
corporate sector. Founded by some of the UK's most experienced computer 
professionals, the company counts large multi-national corporations 
among its clients.  
Notes to editors:   There are around 4 million personal computers sold 
every year in the UK.The fourth quarter is traditionally the busiest 
period of the year.   The Millennium bug is a consequence of technology 
developed in the 1970sand 1980s when expensive computer memory was saved 
by recording years as two digits instead of four. When I January 2000 
arrives many systems willnot recognise the year and revert to  1900 or 
1980s causing systems to crash.   To date concern has focused on  
software issues relating to the Year 2000bug, but the spotlight is 
beginning to be turned on hardware - the millionsof PCs that sit on 
desks or work stations across the world. Nearly every PC inthe world 
is affected.   All PCs have an internal ''clock'' - known as the Real 
Time Clock -which allows the PC to keep track of date and time. Many 
software programmesrely on this clock system to function.  The Real Time 
Clock- found on the PC's motherboard - is the source of all
time-related functions on the PC. In September 1997, the US Nuclear
Regulatory Commission (NRC) discovered that an order of 600 PCs failed 
to pass its Millennium test and required significant upgrades. The NRC 
test 
found that the system's Real TimeClock was not Year 2000 compliant. 
---------------BACK TO THE FUTURE: DE-BUGGING THE "MILLENNIUM BUG" 
                      by Richard Raysman and Peter Brown       As the 
clock
 strikes midnight on January 1, 2000, experts predictthat many of the 
world'
scomputers will grind to a halt, disabled by what has been referred to 
as"the Year 2000 Problem,""Y2K" or "the Millennium Bug." Computer 
systems, 
most of which containtwo-digit date fields, willinterpret the "00" in 
the 
date to refer to 1900. As a result, suchsystems will 
miscalculatedate-sensitive computations or, more simply, just crash. 
In other words,while the rest of the worldmoves forward at the turn of 
the 
century, computers will move backwardin time. Time is of theessence in 
correcting this problem.        The Millennium Bug is a major concern 
for 
most businesses andorganizations that rely ondate-dependent computer 
systems. Experts have expressed concern thatdate-sensitive 
calculationsbased
 on erroneous data will cause widespread system failure - 
affectingfinancial
 transactions,investments, legal commitments and record-keeping.Problems 
have already been 
reported. For example, restaurantcomputers have rejected creditcards 
which 
expire after the turn of the century. A computer mistakeresulted in 
early 
parole forsome inmates in a state prison. The computer misread their 
release 
datesearly next century asrelease dates early this century. The problem 
may 
also affect expirationdates on food andpharmaceutical items, reservation 
systems, transportation systems,accounting systems, insurancepremium 
calculations and almost any other date-related functionsperformed by 
computers.        The Millennium Bug has created large scale potential 
forliability. Year 2000 system failuresmay lead to contractual and 
products 
liability claims against softwarevendors, and may exposecorporate 
officers
 and directors who fail to address the problem toshareholder derivative 
suits. It isconceivable that plaintiffs may bring personal injury suits 
ifcomputerized products, such as hospitalequipment or elevators, fail as 
a 
result of date-sensitive calculations.        The attention devoted to 
the
 Millennium Bug reflects both theextent to which we have come torely on 
computers, and the potential magnitude of the problem. Althoughcoverage 
of 
the MillenniumBug has generated great concern in both the public and 
private
 sector,technical solutions areavailable. These solutions, however, 
raise 
certain legal issues, whichmust be addressed by attorneysinvolved in 
computer-related transactions. Coordinated effort,assessment of legal 
and 
technicalcosts and risks, and timely attention to the problem may be the 
key toprotecting against Year 2000related liability.   
THE PROBLEM        The Millennium Bug stems from early computer 
programmingpractices. Until recently, the datefields of most computers 
and 
software were programmed to operate using asix-digit date field
(such as, YY/MM/DD), using only two digits to represent a year. 
Unlessthe problem is corrected,these computers will recognize 00/01/01 
as
 January 1, 1900, rather thanJanuary 1, 2000. As aresult, any 
date-sensitive
 calculations may cause such systems to crash. Those programming 
mainframes
 twenty to thirty years ago probablygave little thought to theproblems 
that
 would arise at the end of the century. Two-digit datefields occupied 
less 
storagespace, and were faster to program and process. As a result, 
thesetwo-digit date codes exist inmost programming languages. Moreover, 
programming practices are notstandardized, so there isno single method 
to 
locate and correct date fields in different programsand systems. 
Suchinconsistencies may require line-by-line data correction, to address 
theYear 2000
 Problem.    THE SOLUTION        Several 
technical solutions have been proposed to correct theproblem. Some 
haverecommended expanding two-digit codes to four digits. Others 
haveproposed implementingsoftware which can logically determine whether 
a
 two-digit daterepresents a late twentieth centuryor early twenty-first 
century date. Software applications to correct theproblem are already on 
themarket and more are being developed. The appropriate technical 
solutionmust be tailored to anorganization's particular systems and 
software.        Eliminating the Millennium Bug will be time-consuming 
andexpensive. According to the GartnerGroup, a research firm, it will 
cost 
between $300 billion to $600billion worldwide to correct theproblem. The 
cost in the United States alone is estimated to be $50billion to 
$75 billion. Under theGartner Group's projections, it will cost 
approximately one dollar perline of code to fix theproblem. A 
medium-sized 
company running 8000 programs with 1500 lines ofcode per programwould 
need
to spend approximately $4 million to upgrade their systems.Large 
corporations mayneed to expend $50-100 million and thousands of working
days percorporation to make their systems millennium compliant.        
The problem has been addressed by the federal government, as wellas 
numerous consultantsand organizations, including the Information 
Technology
Association of America and the Federal Financial Institutions 
Examination 
Council. Senator Daniel PatrickMoynihan (D-N.Y.) introducedthe 
"Commission
 on the Year 2000 Computer Problem Act" (S. 2131) lastSeptember. 
The billwould have established a fifteen-member bipartisan commission to
 studyand analyze the scope ofthe Year 2000 problem and to assess the 
resources and actions necessaryto address the problem.Senator Moynihan's
 bill was not passed by the 104th Congress, but islikely to be taken up 
againthis year. ------------One look at the Toshiba Satellite Pro 460

'2000 Bug' keeps lawyersbusy: Up to $2 trillion in lawsuits expected 
over 
computer glitch By Joel J. Smith / The Detroit News  DETROIT -- When the 
dreaded  Millennium Bug strikes, thousands of businesses around the 
nation 
are expected to adopt a standard problem-solving tactic: sue somebody.
Legal wrangling over the    pervasive Year 2000 computer glitch 
couldproduce up to $2 trillion in lawsuits, experts say -- far more than 
the costs of altering computer programs to fix the problem. 
Recognizing the potential, many of Metro Detroit's large law firms 
already have designated "Year  2000" teams that will handle expected 
litigation and advise clients on ways to avoid liability. "When a glitch 
is
 identified as a 
Year 2000 problem, people are going to sue," said Claudia 
Rast, an attorney and Year 2000 expert with the Detroit law
firm of Dickinson, Wright, Moon, Van Dusen & Freeman.
"There will be all kinds of targets out there for
potential lawsuits. "It's a huge, huge domino." 
On Thursday, the U.S. House Banking Committee approved
a bill that will help vulnerable credit unions and savings and loan  
associations cope with the problem. It's the first
 action by         Congress on the Millennium Bug. 
The Year 2000 problem is a result of the standard use of two                     
 digits instead of four in computer programs to identify the year. 
For instance, 1998 is just "98." But that won't work when the year 
2000 arrives -- computers will think it's 1900. The innocent-sounding 
problem can causeserious consequences for tens of thousands of computer 
functions: Calculating interest payments, operating a nuclear power 
plant,
 keeping track of airplanes in the sky, opening bank vaults and 
operating 
computerized
 signal lights and 
gates.All will be   subject to errors and confusion.
 In some cases, computers simply will stop 
working.      Fixing the problem isn't easy. Large
corporations with       main frame computers often have 
millions of linesof computer code that must be 
examined for the two-digit date problem.                           
Standish Group International, a high-tech research group
based in Dennis, Mass., estimates that U.S. businesses alone 
spend $440 billion to correct the problem.
And in many cases,     the job won't be completed in time.

                           Most Fortune 500 companies including
                                   the Big Three auto
  companies are well on their way to fixing the problem. But it's 

  the smaller companies that are dragging theirfeet.
  Sheldon Klein, an attorney and Year 2000expert with ButzeL
  Long of Detroit, said his firm is doing preventative counseling to 
                     protect clients from potential Year 2000 risks. 
                          That includes doing legal audits for clients
 that will identify                      possible Year 2000 liability.
 Klein said he offers Year 2000                      legal advice on 
contracts, buying and selling of companies and dealing with services 
hired
 to fix the problem.    "Litigation will take place starting now but
 more so down the  road," Klein said. "When things don't
 work, contracts don't get       performed. When businesses 
are severely harmed, there are  going to be court cases." 
 Potential targets for lawsuits surrounding the Year 2000
problem include:    * Companies hired to correct the problem may miss 
aline of                      programming with the Bug, disrupting 
computers and possibly causing a financial loss. * Shareholder lawsuits 
against companydirectors and officers  for failing to correct the 
problem.
* Warranty disputes with software companies for failing to provide 
Year 2000-compatible programs. * Disagreements over employment contracts 
and trade  secrets as computer
 programers, in short supplyand highly                      valued, move
 between companies.                           "Lawyers are going to make 
a
 lot of money off this," said                      Steve Bruss, a Year 
2000 
expert with Syntel Inc.in Troy, a                      worldwide 
computer 
service firm that handles the millennium                      problem. 
"When the problems start surfacing,you're going to                      
start pulling out your contracts and looking for someone to  
                    blame."                           Rast and other 
attorneys expect to be increasingly busy as the clock ticks toward 
New Year's Eve, 1999.                           "I just hope the power 
works on Saturday, Jan. 1, 2000,"                      she said. "I 
think 
I'm staying home that NewYear's Eve." The game plan Ameritech, the 
state's 
largest local telephone carrier, has been working on the Year 2000 
problem 
for nearly two years. The company hopes to have the problem resolved 
within
 12 months. This involves the following:  * Examine 25 million lines of
 computer code for two-digit references to the year. 
 * Convert 1,400 switches for handling phone calls to recognize the year
 2000 and beyond. * Analyze and make ready thousands of desktop 
components
 such as computers, telephones and faxes to operate properly  using 
dates 
after the turn of the century. 
* Go through 6,000 buildings, access systems, 
heating and  cooling plants, alarms and elevators and
 updating them where                      necessary.   
                        "The bottom line is you need to do everything 
you 
can to get   ready for the year 2000 -- the due date for the work is not 
negotiable," said Fred Kowitz, the corporate director for the
                      Year 2000 initiative at Ameritech. 
------------
The New York Law JournalJune 3, 1997     There are more serious 
possibilities regarding liability. One such example is the possibility 
of awrongful death claim that might arise out of an airplane crash that
 canbe related to inaccurate airplane maintenance, which resulted from 
inaccurate dates on theairline's computer system.     Other claims could 
stem from liability for situations in volvingtime-locked vaults, 
automated manufacturing equipment, elevators and any other injury 
resulting 
from computer controlled systems.While these possibilities seem remote, 
they 
present new areas ofcoverage worthy of consideration.     If millennium 
bug
 probabilities and potential size of claims arehigh, insurance carriers
 mightlook to exclude millennium bug related claims from 
policies.Resolution 
    While it may appear that companies have until Dec. 31, 1999 
toaddress
 this problem, this isnot the case. Most computer programmers utilize 
the 
number ''9'' as adefault to denote anythingother than a specific piece 
of 
information. For 
example, if a date ismissing, certain applications 
mayinput ''99'' as a default for the year. It is therefore likely that 
certain computer systems will not beable to properly process any date 
with 
the year 1999, or ''99'' as itwould appear to the computersystem. It is 
in 
every organizations best interest to target a deadlineof Dec. 31, 1998 
to 
resolve thisissue.
