Subject: Re: Broken date support on old releases?
As a programmer who worked on Y2K remediation, I've been expecting things
like the to crop up. One of the methods for dealing with Y2K was
windowing the last two digits of the year. I always opted for 40 as the
break point, but I know a lot of programmers who opted for 20 or even
lower.
