Another media hype -- September 9, 1999 in every language I've studied is
090999 not 9999.  The actual problem date might have been in late April which
on the Julian calender used by a lot of institutions is 9999.  Gee, I didn't
hear of any great computer failures then.  Makes me sad to admit I've got a
degree in Journalism.
