subject: Hello!

SH>>   31 more years of computing! ;)  Then we're really screwed.
 ml>> haha, yep... unless someone comes up with a way of fixing things...

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

altering the platform won't help programs with these libraries compiled
within them... they have to be fixed internally...

 ml>> it seems easy enough... i've got 7 normal year charts and 7 leapyear
 ml>> charts... i've already looked at the 68 year cycle and 136 year cycles
 ml>> and they get tossed out of sync on a leapyear each time... i know the
 ml>> pattern is in there and it is just a matter of time to locate it and
 ml>> then figure out how to apply it ;)

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

tell me about it! i've got too many t-shirts about this type of stuff already! ;)
