Well, on this newsgroup we have an easy solution...

The Apple IIgs clock is good through...I believe it is 2044 so we have a
while before we need to worry about it.

(better than the Lisa 2; it hit the Y2K "brick wall" in 1997)

As for non-IIgs Apple ]['s...well, those shipped without clocks in them so
they have no idea what year it is, and therefore will not have any
problems with Y2K.

(note that some software may generate data errors in 2000, but there will
be no Apple ][ Y2K-related hardware problems)
