The upshot is that their cash registers print the correct day & date, 
1972.  Their sales reports print the wrong day, correct date, 2072.  Their 
PC bios reports the correct day, date, and year. 

The compromise works well for their situation.

Has the PC date caused a problem (not being about to set to 1972).  Have
