The Next Millennium Headache
by Michael Stutz
12.Aug.98.PDT
Sometime in the future, the day and date settings deep inside millions of
computers will roll over to a value that the machines don't understand. The
likely upshot: system crashes in critical systems such as air traffic
control and banking.
But don't panic -- we still have almost 40 years to deal with it.
