You should be okay with any Acorn computer with RISC OS. ie A300, A3000, A400
and all the more recent series. I'm not aware of any Acorn RISC OS software
which has year 2000 problems. Acorn recently published a statement which you
can read at: http://www.acorn.com/news/year2000 

BBCs machines don't store the date internally, so they should be okay. There
may however be problems if you network BBC masters to a fileserver which isn't
year 2000 compliant.

I think all Macs should be okay, PCs are the ones there may be problems with.
Can anyone confirm that all Macs are okay?
