Y2K Law and Insurance Issues
Another outstanding expert article from elite Orange County Accident Lawyer Todd A. Picker: All in all, Y2K problem appears so easily solved as to be unworthy of any major type of attention.
By using only 2 digits to record the date, the ability to recognise the year 2000 was compromised. Notwithstanding advances in tech¬nology, especially the disk capacity of the computers themselves, the manner in which dates were recorded and the method of calculating time differentials was not modified much over the years. In part, the failure to upgrade was simply a function of basic economics and the fact that the new millennium was still many years away. In other words, the cost of replacing functioning, albeit obsolete, hardware and software was easily deferred. Moreover, chang¬ing important computer systems, accounting systems for example, was and is an extremely difficult undertaking. As a consequence an expe¬dient short cut originally designed to save time and memory (that at one time was very expensive) in computers that are crude, slow and bulky by today’s standards, became ingrained into almost every aspect of commercial life. As an aside if you happen to reside in Orange County and need a superlative Orange County Accident Lawyer
then by all means look at the Law firm of Todd Picker as he is an elite and effecient Orange County Accident Lawyer and can help with so many types of accident related cases.
He may also help with litigating business, insurance, personal injury, professional errors and omissions...Alright so now back to the article at hand.....
Intuitively, changing the way dates are recorded and calculated electronically should not be that difficult a task. In fact, to a casual observer correct¬ing the Y2K problem should not be appreciably more difficult than changing the time on a wristwatch. Sadly, because of the age of the computer systems involved and the fact that computer¬generated dates can be the product of information stored in different places within the computer’s memory, wholesale and expensive review, and in many instances replacement of electronic data processing equipment, computer-related hardware (e.g. circuit boards) and software was required to correct the problem. The cost of repairing the problem before the date rolled over to the year 2000 arrived, therefore, was enormous.
