"Asia Escapes 'Four 9s' Computer Bug By Christina Toh-Pantin Sep 9 3:49am ET .... ....Concerns over September 9, 1999 arose from an old programming convention that used four nines in a row -- 9999 -- to tell computers to stop processing data or to perform a special task. It was thought to be a precursor to the Y2K or millennium bug, which could strike on January 1, 2000." emphasis added.
