Discussion of the Y2K problem from
The Small Business Administration:

"What is the year 2000 problem?

"The year 2000 problem started decades ago when early computers had very limited memory and storage space. Programmers saved space where they could by storing the absolute minimum amount of data necessary for business functions.

"One place they saved space was the date, in which years were represented by their last two digits. So, 1946 was represented and stored as 46, 1967 was stored as 67, and so forth. Reducing years to two digits works well as long as the century does not change.

"As the next century approaches, however, computers that still maintain years as two digits may not recognize that the year 2000 is greater than the previous year.

"Although a computer may recognize that 99 is greater than 98 (as in 1999 and 1998), it may not recognize that 00 is greater than 99 (as in 2000 and 1999) and may consider it 1900. and why is it so important?

"Data processing systems used in all types of businesses rely heavily on dates and date processing. If the computer code does not recognize that one date is greater than another, it may not be able to process properly and may produce erroneous results."
