Please help…

My name is Alan Do, a college co-op who is working for Devon Consulting.
I have just finished the initial development of a dynamic database that will
eventually be known as the y2k (interactive) Database that will reside at
www.y2kdatabase.com.  For now, it is on a developmental server at
http://bubba.devonconsulting.com

The database aims to provide a dynamic search and analyze database to locate
home/business software and hardware and return their year 2000 compliance
status as well as provide solution to problematic software. The site also
provides a section for you to add and edit information on any particular
product. It also includes a section where you can analyze your computer
system for any potential problem during the transition to the new millenium.
As far as I know, this is the first of its kind. Hopefully, with enough
attention, we can provide this free service. It could be very useful to
everyone in the next year and a half.

The problem? My MIS manager absolutely loves the database. However, the
company’s president is still skeptical about its potential popularity and
usefulness and doesn’t want to spend resource to populate the database with
more product entries unless he gets enough good feedback from internet users.
If you like the idea mentioned in theparagraph above, please stop by the
developmental site at http://bubba.devonconsulting.com and test out the
database. You can submit your comments through the “Contact Information” 
section. You feedback will be extremely essential to the completion of the
database. Please let me know who you are as well. In return, I will add your
relevant site to our database before the official launch. As much resources
as I have now, I have no incentive to offer but my utmost gratitude.

Sincerely,

Alan Linh Do
