Word Explanation
millennium
One thousand years. Because the first year of the first millennium AD was 1 AD rather than 0 AD, the first year of the second millennium was 1001 AD. Therefore, in spite of all the fuss about the Year 2000, the next millennium will not actually start until January 1, 2001.
millennium bug
The Y2K problem; an electrical or other system defect related to the date 2000 AD. The problem was created by the programming of computers with two-digit date fields, such as 99 instead of 1999. The year 2000 in a two-digit date field reads 00, which the computer may interpret as 1900. The computer's confusion about the date can cause processing problems.
mission-critical system
A system that is critical to the functioning of an organization and the accomplishment of its mission.
MM
The Roman numeral designation for the Year 2000.
