Y2K just stands for the Year 2000. A lot of people were afraid that a good deal of the computers in the world were going to crash when the year changed from 1999 to 2000, because a lot of old software is written to assume the year starts with 19. This kind of software would suddenly think it''s the year 1900. All kinds of little problems could''ve happened, but most didn''t, and it''s over now. Yay :)
