Rather than recode everything as was initially planned, 2012 is the real year date-reliant software now becomes in trouble. 99% of all Y2K software fixes were relatively simply dial-backs of reference dates.... the simple fix is that any two-digit year-code is assumed to be before 1/1/2012.
Interesting that they picked 2012.

Hopefully John McCain can make it to 2012 (when his wife gets sent to the hospital after a handshake, you know youre old...).
I was just thinking about this subject and all the Y2K food Art Bell was pimping.

Funny, I actually still have two books about surviving Y2K. I kept them specifically for the survival info.
Great thread Fathom. Starred.
I'll be watching it.
