Analysis - Why Y2K Wizard is the Best Y2K Hardware Test & Fix Solution:
Some of the products have special features that scan for non-compliant files or spreadsheets. Y2K Wizard does not do that because it is a hardware test product.
However, Y2K Wizard does have the lowest price for multi-seat licensing, and it performs diagnostics the others do not do. Furthermore, our customization service is a serious boon to maintenance pros because it gives them a custom start up screen with their company information in it for only a small one-time fee (less than $500, depending on the changes). Thus it has big value as an advertisement that appears on the screen every time the end user boots his system. It helps the maintenance professional sell services, upgrades, and new systems.
Y2K Wizard is even valuable for systems that have no Y2K problem at all. It performs diagnostics every time the system boots and it thus gives the user a sense of confidence that the system date is both correct AND Y2K-compliant. The diagnostics show that the CMOS RAM is functional, the battery is charged, the Real Time Clock is accurate and synchronous with the DOS clock, and the system date is not earlier than the release date of the software or the last time it was set. It actually prompts the user to set the date if an impossible or unlikely date is set into the RTC or BIOS at boot time. Furthermore, its ability to save/restore CMOS RAM gives CMOS disaster recovery from viruses or dead batteries. These benefit-laden features make Y2K Wizard a real bargain for users and service providers.
