After all, many companies have teams for the date-field issue right now, and we've gotten pretty good in the past couple of years at analyzing this problem. It would only make sense to immediately move on to the 2038 work after Y2K settles down. Let's just not wait until 2035 to deal with it this time, huh? - SteveDo you honestly believe that corporate *name your country* will spend the money NOW to fix a problem that won't affect them for 30+ years? One of us is living in a fantasy world....
Think about it this way. Would you rather the Y2K preperation "we must test our wall clocks for Y2K then fill out 20lbs of paperwork and affix a Y2K certified sticker" weenies found immediate employement, or would you rather see them go back to their go-pher my coffee jobs for the next 37 years? :P -- Richard A.
