I don't know if it is April 9th or not, but there was a concern with the
99th day of the year (whatever that turned out to be - 99th day of 99.
*shrug* Personally, I think it's entirely too much hype. If you are
tracking by day of year, then you would be using a 3 digit format for the
days, as there are 365+ days in a year, so the day would be 099 of the year
99, or 09999. Likewise, September 9, 1999 would be represented as 090999,
not 9999.

Subject: Re: Another Y2K date tomorrow
Okay Ken, call me dumb, but why would April 9 be a problem for Y2k?
Other than
it's my anniversary and there were no problems there. Except I was
working in
Colorado at the time and I had to have my employer fly my wife to
there....
Please fill me in
