January 2000 note: Many of these sites are now closing down or being offered for sale at web site auctions! AUGUST 2000 - many of these links HAVE CLOSED DOWN TOTALLY! They are listed a s emaander of some of the snake oil sales personnel involved in Y2K.

Remember - the date rollover (year from 99 to 00) on 1/1/2000 has set the "trigger date" for events to start appearing inside databases, spreadsheets and user defined files for some time yet to come where interpretation rules are used to determine "what year it is" based on the two digit structure of the year!
