LOGic 5 and later: If you enter 00, LOGic will know that you mean 2000, not 1900. See below for details. You may set LOGic up to display 4-digit years if desired. Normally, LOGic uses the settings in the control panel Regional Settings, short date format. You may override this in LOGic 5 by going to Tools/Options/Application.
LOGic 4-digit and before: Turn 4-digit year on in Main Menu/Utilities/General options.
All PDA database applications, including current and all past versions, always store date data with century. They are incapable of storing a date without a century. PDA has always been ready for year 2000!
All PDA database applications are user-configurable to allow input of 2-digit or 4-digit year date formats. All 32-bit products (LOGic 5 and later) handle the century as follows: If no century is entered, a century value 1900 is assigned for years 21 through 99. 2000 is assigned for years 0 through 20. Previous versions always assume 1900 if no century is entered. However, a century may be manually entered in all cases.
All versions of PDA's database applications support a date range of January 1, 100 A.D. through December 31, 9999 A.D. (LOGic 5.2 and later versions support a date range of January 1, 1 A.D. through December 31, 9999).
Our radio and antenna rotor interface hardware products are not date-aware or date-dependant.
Of course Y2K-compatible software will not function properly if your computer does not. Fortunately, you can test Y2K compatibility. Just set your system clock ahead and see what happens. Test your software and hardware by entering 2000 dates, and also test functions which read the system clock.
Interesting facts...
Year 2000 is a leap year. Year 1900 was not. The last time the last year of the century was a leap year was 1600.
2000 is not the first year of the new century and millennium. It is the last year of the old century and millennium. Why? A millennium is 1000 years. Years 1 thru 1000 were the first millennium. Years 1001 thru 2000 are the second millennium. At the end of 1999, only 1999 years have elapsed since the supposed birth date of Jesus. Note that there was no year 0. 1 AD immediately followed 1 BC. This is probably because there is no roman numeral zero!
But, it's a great excuse to have another party!
