    Re Paul Shrivastava's guidance for making my computer read 2000 rather

    now, when it might mean anything if computers such as ours would still
    be in use. But, of course, they won't. So it's 00 for me, the 01, etc.,
    until my time runs out.

    I guess if you don't have a problem, you don't have a problem, but if
    your date's messed up, try sorting files by date, or doing anything
    date related (financial information, invoicing, taxes, etec). Maybe it
    doesn't affect you but the two digit dates sure affect me!
