I have CM6K, Rebel 10, and Shredder2, I have run my date past 2000 and I have
not found any problems with these programs. So for those I would say they are
okay.

I would think with today commercial programs, only a stupid programmer would
write something that does not take this into account.

Yet again my ISP spent a fortune ungrading their hardware and software, only to
find when I paid for the year for my account it did not understand the 00 as the
exporation date on my VISA card. So they are still some stupid people and
companies out there who still do not take Y2K into account
