Subject: Y2K creates "horseless carriages"

AP reports that a Y2K glitch has caused 2000 new vehicle registrations in
the state of Maine to bear the classification "horseless carriage".
Apparently, the DMV software misread the 2000 model year as 1900, and it is
hardwired to classify any vehicle with a model year before 1916 as a
horseless carriage.
