In addition to your PC's hardware, operating system, and software programs, you will need to consider personal data files that you create and use. Personal data files include documents, spreadsheets, financial records, and other data that you have stored (saved) on disk with a filename. Files that you create or use mayùor may notùbe ready for the year 2000.
When dates are entered with only two digits for the year, software programs use something called "windowing" to interpret the meaning of the century. For example, if you enter "99," the program generally assumes that you mean "1999." Depending on how the date window is set up and understood by the software program, digits you enter as "00" may not be interpreted to mean the century you intended. |
