Description: This is a rare opportunity to purchase a millennium bug check on preparations and contingency planning by HSBC. Included is also the banks program readiness to collect disclosure. “The Millennium Bug problem Most computer operating systems, including microchips and programs, were developed using six digit date fields. This means, for example, that the thirty-first of July nineteen ninety-nine usually appears as 31/07/99, rather than 31/07/1999. As a result, the Year 2000 in an unconverted system will appear as 00, so the first of January 2000 would be recognised as 01/01/00. Many computer systems will recognise this as the year 1900. Depending upon the types of microchips and their programming, there may be many other "critical dates". Some of these may affect systems and equipment before the first of January 2000.” Both in good condition. A unique bit of history. Open to offers. Thanks
