But, what will be do in 2000? Write our checks 01/01/00? It just doesn't
look right. I'm already training myself to write full 4-digit years, but
my new Psion Series 5 has other plans. I keep my mileage log in a
spreadsheet on it, but when I tried to enter in my first entry
(01/01/1999) the Psion automatically truncated it to 01/01/99. Stupid
thing. I'm sure there's an option I need to go search for to make it do
what I want.
