James,
        No, it's not a leap year, and as a matter of fact, it's not the turn 
of the century, either...
        Note--I have a little heartburn with the second statement myself.  I 
have no problem believing that the new century and millenium won't 
start until 2001Jan01, but that would mean that the decades don't 
start on the "zero" years, either, and that just seems a little too 
weird to me.
