I've been hearing a lot about the Y2K problem. What should I be worried about?

Well, if you're not familiar with it, Y2K is an acronym for the year 2000 problem. It refers to the potential for computer systems to have problems when they switch from 1999 to 2000. The main concern is that computers may not recognize dates after December 31st, 1999 as valid. This could cause issues such as incorrect data being entered into databases or other programs, software crashing, and even hardware failures.
