Interesting question ... with all of the hypersensitivity to the Y2K
"problem" no telling what kind of response you will get. What is really
interesting is that I wonder what they wrote when we went from 01/01/999 to
01/01/1000 ;-)

was it anything like my ancesters wrote on some old turn-of-the-century
letters 12/31/99 (for 1899) and 01/01/00 (for 1900?)  IMHO "current"
informational dates can still be MM/DD/YY...   I am sure there will still be
some systems running whos "current dates" exist within a year and can still
use MM/DD long after 1/1/2K.
