Short question: What really does all this year 2000 stuff mean
anyways?

Short answer: Its a big, overplayed, very annoying hype of
a problem that persists in software developed on legacy
computers and operating systems a long time ago.

Real Answer: Any software package using the number LONG date
format (meaning number of seconds since January 1, 1970) can
accurately track dates until the next millenium (give or take
a few hundred years).

Yes, Emerald and SQL Server are Y2K appeasable.
