Jeff,
Just for fun I have already checked the DIC in the TGP, it is indeed Y2K
compliant... well, it will go to 00 and beyond just fine.  2-digit year
or not, I don't think there are any year-based calculations, at least
not on the TGP.  It's just a FYI display.  Even the day of the week has
to be set by the user, so Y2K is definitely no problem.

I told me girlfriend about the talk on here about people charging money
to tell you if your car is Y2K compliant.  She got a kick out of it and
told a co-worker about it.  Her co-worker actually replied, "how much
SHOULD it cost?"  Scary.
