USA Visa Double-Check

Hi,
I do realise I'm panicking a bit here, but can someone confirm for me that I DON't need a Visa for the USA please?
I will be in the USA for only 2 weeks.
I have a UK passport issued in the year 2000
It DOES appear to be “machine readable” (has 2 lines of letters, numbers and “<<<<<<<<<” on the personal info page)
It does NOT have a chip.
It does NOT have a digital photo.
There seems to be loads of requirements, and I know I'm being a bit thick, but I don't think I need one. Help anyone please?
Cheers,
Karen

Your passport is fine, so assuming you meet the requirements of the Visa Waiver Program (e.g. you don't have a criminal record) you will not need a visa.
You can use the Visa wizard http://www.usembassy.org.uk/cons_new/visa/visa_wizard.html to make sure you meet all the requirements.Let's settle this like gentlemen: armed with heavy sticks
On a rotating plate, with spikes like Flash Gordon
And you're Peter Duncan; I gave you fair warning0
