The year 2000 was the target of [[Y2K]] concerns, fearing computers could not shift from 2-digit "99" to "2000"; however, many companies had already converted their software, even obtaining ''Y2K certification'', and relatively few problems occurred.

Popular culture also holds the year 2000 as the first year of the [[21st century]] and the [[3rd millennium|third millennium]]. In the Gregorian Calendar, however, this distinction falls to the year [[2001]], because the first century began with year [[AD 1]] (there was no [[year zero]]), and the thousand years spanned to years 2-1001 (see more at: ''[[millennium]]'').
