FT.com / UK - 'Year 2010' software glitch hits German bank cards

[ken at krvw.com (Kenneth Van Wyk)]

Greetings SC-L,

There have been several reports in the last few days of various devices being hit with a so-called "year 2010" software 
glitch.  Several bank ATMs, mobile devices, etc., have reportedly been hit.  Below is a link to one such story.

My question for SC-L is: anyone here aware of the actual underlying software problems willing to share?  Source 
examples would be most appreciated.

Cheers,
