Actually, 2000 was a leap year. If the year is not divisible by 100 but is divisible by 4, it is a leap year. (1900 is therefore not a leap year.) If the year is divisible by 100 and is divisible by 400, it is a leap year. (2000 is therefore a leap year.) There is a good FAQ on this at http://world.std.com/~dpbsmith/leapyearfaq.txt.
