"A recent National Federation of Independent Business survey, released in January 1999, indicates that as many as a third of small businesses using computers or other at-risk devices have no plans to assess their exposure to the Y2K problem. The survey also indicates that more than half of small firms have not yet taken any defensive steps. The reasons for this inactivity vary. Many of these business owners believe that, unless they operate large, mainframe computers, the Y2K problem poses no threat to their operations. Others have stated that they will fix systems when and if they fail, and that taking preemptive action to assess and fix potential Y2K problems is a waste of time and money."
