I'm still waiting for the dreaded millenium bug to take its stranglehold on the worlds IT systems. Planes dropping out of the air, people losing millions when banks computers go into meltdown. Some muppet made a lot of money somewhere I am sure. Or maybe not such a muppet. Still I guess theres more chance of that happening than Odejayi to come on and score on Saturday

The majority of data systems had 2 digit year fields. All programs and databases had to be changed to handle that. That was the only problem when going over to 2K.
