I'm not a business, I'm a home user, and I don't even run any software I know of that would be affected (and I don't program in C at the current time, either). The worst that's gonna happen is that my Email will be dated 1900. Big deal, so anyone with cerebrospinal fluid where their brain is supposed to be might think it's 1900. Maybe they'll go looking for Thomas Edison for light bulbs instead of going to the supermarket. > The point is, think Y2K and visit: > > http://www.garynorth.com Maybe I'll take the time around November, 1999. Right now, I'm not interested.
