I have a "different" view which might be of interest in this technological age: Since ancient times, the Chinese have calculated the years by the sexagenary cycle of the lunar calendar. If our computers counted years in this way too, we wouldn't have the "millennium bug" problem.
我有一個較「另類」的看法，或許可以給現代科技的文明人做參考：漢人自古用陰曆甲子年起算，如果我們電腦的紀年也是如此，應該便不會有「千禧蟲」之患。
