The
Year 2000: are you a time traveler?
by
Robert E. Hilliard
When
was the last time you thought about Y2K? As the millennium approaches,
the question, "Does Y2K effect me, and if
it does, what can I do about it?," is asked
more and more. The answer is simple. If you use a computer, you are effected.
Every aspect of our lives is touched, in some way, by computers. From the
weekend PC user all the way up to the big iron programmer, the Year 2000
date crisis is real and sits dormant, waiting to come alive at the first
hint of a millennium change. For some, that change has already hit home
more quickly than expected.

the questions, `Will 2000 be a leap-year?' and `Will it be the start of
the new millennium?'
