when Y2K comes.  YOU (and your 179,999 friends) will be the ones
hurting.
Sys/36 uses sliding window y2k in the operating system.  It won't fall
over dead on 03 Jan 2000.  Unless the user's files are heavily indexed and
sorted on dates he'll be able to run with a few silly looking quirks and a
few downright bad-things.  If the user is running a Sys/36 it is probably
a very static situation.  I see hurt coming and embarassment, but any
company that fails because of Y2K was on the banana peel anyway.
