This is of course bullshit.  It is just a scare tactic for programmers
to LOOT the public purse.  Already Y2K checks and fixes are being
implemented.  If there was a big problem our economy would already be
tweaking by now as computer systems are now scheduling activities into
the next millenium.  So far the problems have been minor.

I might add that anything making it more difficult for the Feds to
retrieve archived information on the citizens of this country would be
a welcome step towards electronic privacy.
