US: Bug Won't Hurt Computers

President Clinton today pledged government computers would not be plagued by the ``millennium bug,'' a flaw that will have some systems mistakenly calculating the year 2000 as 1900. The problem arises from computers programmed to record only the last two digits of the year. Such computers may treat the year 2000 as the year 1900, generating serious errors or even crashing the systems. Estimates for correcting the problem worldwide range as high as $600 billion, but administration officials have said the government can correct its computers for less than $3 billion.
