Scott -

Having worked on many embedded systems, I have seen VERY FEW that CHECK THE DATE. That is: most embedded systems do not use a date at all. A small fraction of these systems DO use a date.

Y2K is not strictly about DATES, it is about how the silicone machines we depend upon count TIME. Dates are just one form of time.
