Interesting that the dates on the Y2K Watcher are not Y2K-compliant.If it's a display format that is not read by machine, Y2k compliancy has no relevancy. It's meant to be interpreted by humans.
When the date rolls over, 12/31/99 will go to 1/1/00.
The date will be accurate.
The time will be accurate.
If you're using a screen scraping program to read the date, then it might get confused. big deal.
