The year 2000 may pose problems for many people both at work and at home. This is due to some computer and other electrical equipment not being able to handle four digit dates (e.g. 1999) or the "rollover" from 1999 to 2000.

The year 2000 is also a leap year and this is also going to cause some problems too.

It is therefore very important that you check your computer and electronic equipment and systems including:

• Computers and their peripherals (some printers, digital cameras etc.)
• Computer Operating Systems software
• Burglar & fire alarms
• Postal franking machines
• Photocopiers
• PDAs and other forms of databanks and electronic personal organisers
• Video recorders and camcorders
