    The getYear method returns either a 2-digit or 4-digit year:
        * For years between and including 1900 and 1999, the value returned by
          getYear is the year minus 1900. For example, if the year is 1976, the
          value returned is 76.
        * For years less than 1900 or greater than 1999, the value returned by
          getYear is the four-digit year. For example, if the year is 1856, the
          value returned is 1856. If the year is 2026, the value returned is
          2026.

    This JavaScript displays the current date using arrays and is
    y2k compliant, using JavaScript 1.2 getFullYear() method that
    displays the year in 4 digits.
