Here is the snippet of code:
<script language="javascript">
     cYear = new Date();
     document.write('&copy; ' + cYear.getYear() + 'All Rights Reserved.');
</script>

(someone else actually pointed this out and am not sure if this is a
 javascript or usage bug)

doh!  
I just read some more and using a function getYear() is not Y2K 
compliant and should be replaced with getFullYear() instead.

SORRY!
