People are so busy looking at the Year 2000 problem, that they are
ignoring the Year 1999 problem! Many computers and software programs
mark the year as "99" as a special case to mean "infinity" or "not
applicable" or some other flag. In many instances, the "99" won't
correctly be processed as a valid year. I expect many programs to fail
a year earlier than expected!
