WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF TIME BOMB DISPOSAL KIT?
Firstly, consider the alternative bomb-proofing strategies:
2. Replacing the computer with a new one – on average £1,000 each, a very expensive option. (A solution, cynics might suggest, computer manufacturer’s favour for obvious reasons, and why, so far, they’ve been reluctant to provide fixes for their customers).
3. Upgrade to motherboard/BIOS – not as expensive as outright replacement but still not cheap. Including components and computer engineer’s ‘screwdriver time’, operating system re-installation time, testing time, and call-out charge, a cost of about £200 to £250 for a single machine. Plus the inconvenience and lost productivity during machine downtime.
- Year 2000 consultancy – IT professionals who may be brought in to advise on and implement Millennium Compliance. They’re already expensive to hire – hundreds of pounds a day – but it’s predicted that as the deadline draws nearer and the bug-fix frenzy intensifies, they’ll become thinner on the ground and consequently even more expensive.
It’s also the quickest and most straightforward to implement, requiring only rudimentary computer skills. Read on:
- Insert Time Bomb diskette and "Run..."
- Select option 1 from Main Menu to read/print instructions.
- Select option 2 from Main Menu to run the diagnostics.
- Shut down and re-start.
- Type a description to identify machine.
- Press any key to continue.
- Shut down, wait 1 minute and re-start.
- Select option 3 from Main Menu to read/print compliance report to BSI PD 2000(DISC).
