Let me clarify that:
I have *never* claimed that there is no "year 2000" bug.  (For any software 
product, claiming that "there are no bugs" is generally a bad idea.)
I have not, however, received any valid documentation of such a problem.  I 
may have claimed that a few *specific* situations are not problems, but that 
is different from saying that there are no y2k bugs at all.
A few people have pointed out things that they thought to be y2k bugs, but 
there are easy ways to bypass those "problem".  (For example, to enter 2k+ 
dates in the user editor, enter "1xx" for the year.  For example, May 30, 
2001 is 05/03/101.)
I'm still waiting for valid documentation of a real y2k problem.
