This is a losing battle, I know...but the Y2K 'glitch' has NOTHING to do
with the date of 'the new millennium', since the dates are a year apart.
The Y2K thing refers to the problem with a two-digit year on systems which
presume the first 2-digits of the IMPLIED year are '19'...therefore, those
systems, if not modified, will presume a year '00' refers to 1900...
But this has NOTHING to do with when the twentieth century ends, and the
twenty-first century -- and the new millennium -- begins. The twentieth
century/2nd millennium ends on Dec. 31, 2000, and the twenty-first
century/3rd millennium begins on Jan. 1, 2001.
And to answer the question posed in your opening paragraph, my answer is
'no', since Nostradamus' predictions have NEVER been useful BEFORE an
event, his reputation has been built up via hindsight (which is always
'20/20') interpreting his very cryptic statements. Nostradamus'
'predictions' are like inkblots, one can read into them whatever one
wishes to project into them...
