Yes, Leap Day 2000 is acknowledged as part of the 'problem' outlined in Federal Reserve Letter SR97-16 from the Board of Governors:

bog.frb.fed.us

"Leap Year - All Year 2000 plans need to address the leap year - February 29, 2000 - issue.ÿ All date and calculation routines need to be reviewed to ensure that leap year calculations are Year 2000 certified."

I have to assume that all legitimate companies addressing the Y2K phenomenon are aware of it. "Legitimate" being defined as those companies engaged in the business of software remediation (Computer Assoc. et al) as opposed to those companies engaged in nothing more than inflating their own stock price (Zitel et al).

Regarding March, staying in bed isn't a bad idea whether Y2K is 'fixed' or not. Isn't March in Minnesota a bit chilly? Maybe Famous Dave delivers.
