Maybe, you should have tried to get 2000 leaps instead of 2ooo leaps. Sorry, just my poor attempt at humor, but that's very interesting. It seems that the year 2000 problem is here already. Another interesting aspect is that if people want to test year 2000 compatibility, they have to change the date on the computer system. Then, guess what? None of their software licences will work unless they have paid in advance to get a licence covering year 2000. Could this mean a windfall year in 1998 and/or 1999 for certain software companies.
