ROFL! Divide by the date? Why on earth would someone want to divide by the date? To figure out what fraction of the century you were in?

That's a good one. I was a programmer in the 60's and 70's so I understand the 2-digit date code problem very well. It's a real problem; the only question was how much old code was out there and whether it could stand yet another patch. But the problem was never dividing by zero, it was adding 1 to 99! LOL!
