Ok.... baseline is this... since most computersystems did only use 2 digits for the year, the number 00 to 99, it only could display 1900 to 1999. It was feared, that by the time the year changed to 2000, computers would actually change to 1900. There are some documented cases where computers stopped working due to the fact, that the date changed from 1999 to 1900, not 2000.cyborg_ninja-117 wrote:
