The Year 2000 Information Centre suffered the ultimate embarrassment shortly after New Year's Day when it accidentally informed the world that a number of its Web pages had been updated on 3 January, 1900, according to the Risks Digest.

The Year 2000 Information Centre is an online resource containing information and advice concerning all millennium bug related issues and problems. It has comprehensive legal and technological consultation information and features the latest updated information on millennium bug connected incidents.

The Risks Digest, a respected online computer security publication suggests that in a supremely ironic twist of fate, the Year 2000 Information Centre was itself the victim of the dreaded bug. The site now reassuringly shows that all pages were updated in the year 2000.

What do you think? Tell the Mailroom. And read what others have said.

Take me to the Year 2000 Special.

I wonder, who needs .asia domain? I cannot imagine, what would be useful for Microsoft.asia? Toyota.asia? Then let's register .europe (if .eu is too short). Or perhaps Microsoft.southamerica, Dell.australiaandnewzealand, Coca-Cola.africa... Sound funny? Then why not just use the global and country domains? Or perhaps it is time to drop the domains at all?
