  I hope someone can!  I mean I'm sure by then we'll have moved on to 64
bit platforms and this won't be an issue, but I'd still like to know it
doesn't have to be an issue.

  You'll go insane over this stuff man. :)  But your right there has to be
a pattern somewhere that would work.  I remember some postings from Gerry
Dannin back in 1998 or 1999 about the Y2K and some of his explainations of
time and calander's in general were just amazing.  It can keep you awake
nights studying that stuff. 

Cheers,
Shawn
