Year 2000 Site Reviews Index
To supplement our coverage of the Year 2000 Problem, we have
included a review of the top Y2K sites. We rate each Year 2000
site on a scale from one to five stars, with five stars
being the best.
For the reader's convenience, the sites are divided into
categories,
the same categories that appear in our "the menu" section.
That is,
with one exception: A new category, "general sites," will be
added
to account for sites whose Year 2000 coverage defies easy
cataloging.
Got any hot Y2K sites for Westergaard Year 2000 to take a look
at? E-mail us with the URL and we'll be sure to take a look.
