But then again, there are more problems you have to deal with, you'd have to 
set it for lower than 50 or so, but then again, there are people who are born 
pre-1950, so there's a problem, so you'd have to set it for about 20 (I'm 
pretty sure there aren't many 77 year old modemers out there, but then again, 
there likely are) So when it gets to be 2020, you'd have to change it again, 
so sysop's would end up trying to remember to change the date ahead every 
year.
