When I received this and checked my computers I found they both needed to be changed, even though I had them both checked for Y2K compatibility many months ago.  I don't know how important this is, but I fixed mine and I recommend you check yours.  If you are running Windows, this is an easy  fix for a Y2K problem everyone should do, so I'm told.
