Hey Rob!

 RS> Your proposal is not backwards compatible.

My best guess is that any application that cannot handle the four digit year
deserves to die a horrible death if it hasn't already.  My proposal would have
worked just as well back in 1995 as it does today without any alteration.

If so then perhaps there should be more proposals such as mine in order to
correct the wrongs.  I have plans on continuing depending on the outcome of
this particular proposal.  How about you?

Too bad it didn't happen 20 years ago when it *should* have but it has to start
somewhere and near as I can figure I am doing the exact right thing.  If you
can come up with something better I am all ears and am more than willing to
cede.  Until then my proposal stands as is.

Life is good,
Maurice
