 AJ>  Hi Leonard! 

 LE> Y = year stored as an offset from 1980 (0=1980, 127=2107)
 AJ>  So after 2107, we will have a problem similar to Y2K I suppose.

Yes! But also a note, Windows 95, I'm not sure about '98, if you go to the
clock, you won't be able to go over 2099, so yes, we'll have another problem
next century.

Can someone explain why they just can't do it from 1000 to 9999 ?? There must
be some mathematical thing to calculate at what day the begining of a year
starts etc...
