At the end of the nineties there was a big “scare” that computers would stop working because they would not recognise the year 2000. A ridiculous idea that I am sure sold millions of new computers in the last year or two of that decade. The company I worked for at the time panicked a little and one morning I went into work and was faced with a department full of new, networked, computers with the NT operating system. Bearing in mind that all the previous computers didn’t even run on windows and you can imagine the task I had before me, training a shocked work force in the new technology, some of whom, including myself, had never even used a mouse before. This book, and a few others relating to Sage, got me through it. I kept one step ahead of everyone and they thought I was a computer genius.
