Dave, 

A PC will show a four digit date - that doesn't make it Y2K
compliant!

Y2K compliance is about 2% concerned with how many digits 
are shown on a display. It's mostly about software that does
not correctly interpret the date when the years roll around 
from xx99 to xx00. A lot of Y2K problems are not problems
with code, but problems with data that good code must 
interpret.
