Re: Definition of a Leap Year????

Eh? Check out any Year 2000 White Paper... My definition is

1. If it is divisible by four, it is a leap year

Unless (2) it is divisible by 100 in which case it is _not_

UNLESS (3) it is divisible by 1000 in which case it IS! Hence 29th February 2000 exists!

Anybody want to differ?
