Abstract
Was all the mania lending up to the turn of the millennium warranted or was it just a load of computer maintenance ballyhoo designed to attract attention? In this paper, we spot-test a selected number of Swedish companies to establish their state of preparedness just prior to meeting the new millennium as well as the effects they have encountered immediately after the turn of the millennium. These are then compared to the list of effects compiled by the Millennium Commission (appointed by the Swedish Government)
