The problem is getting T/A programs to read the year 00 correctly.

Jim and All,

I confidently booted my 486 computer today, and, upon opening an application program, discovered that the date had rolled over to 1/1/80. The application wouldn't run.

I quickly changed the date to 1/1/00.

The application started running. I think the windows 3.1 program thinks Bill Gates' great-great grandfather was a genius, and I noticed that I had dated a handwritten check for a nearly past due bill, 1/1/1900.
