Eileen Buckholtz is a master computer scientist and author of forty books who has been introducing technology into people's lives for over thirty years. She has worked with writers, small business owners, teachers, librarians, kids, seniors, and congressional staffs, helping them select computers, learn software, and upgrade their systems. This year while serving as a Brookings Institution Legis Fellow on Capitol Hill, she had the opportunity to work with the Senate's Small Business Committee's Staff on the Year 2000 problem. She discovered that while industry and government were addressing the large computer applications and systems, no one was looking out for PC users. Her intensive research and investigation into products and Y2K test results confirmed her belief that personal and desktop computers and software were just as susceptible to the millennium bug as the bigger legacy systems. She gathered a team of user friendly computer experts, writers, web designers, and a lawyer to find out everything PC owners and small businesses needed to know to identify and fix their Year 2000 problems.« less
