Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Old computer systems kept dates in mm/dd/yy formats, which caused problems when the year 2000 was reached, as the two-digit year designation could be interpreted as either 1900 or 2000. This led to potential errors in date calculations and caused concern that critical systems reliant on accurate dates (such as financial systems) would fail.
