The information below was sent to me by a friend. Because I use a Mac I have no way of knowing if it is correct. If you use a pc, you may find it useful.

Got this from a friend of mine and it worked for me---Mike
To all, please check your computers as follows:
Even if your PC is Y2K compliant, here's a setting you might want to check:
For those of you running Windows this is a fix for a small Y2K problem. Almost everyone should do...
Click on "Start."
Click on "Settings."
Click on "Control Panel."
Double click on "Regional Settings" icon.
Click on the "Date" tab at the top of the page.
Where it says, "Short Date Sample", look and see if it shows a two "digit" year (mm/dd/yy or m/d/yy).
That's the default setting for Windows 95, Windows 98 and NT. This date RIGHT HERE is the date that feeds application software and WILL NOT rollover in the year 2000. It will roll over to 00.
Click on the "Short Date Style" pull down menu and select the option that shows four-digit year (mm/dd/yyyy or m/d/yyyy). (Be sure your selection has four Y's showing, not two)
Then click on "Apply" and then click on "OK" at the bottom.
Easy enough to fix. However, every single installation of Windows worldwide is defaulted to the 2-digit year.
Please feel free to pass this on to your family, friends and associates.
