However...in the early '80s I worked on an International Letters of Credit (L/C) system. To the best of my knowledge it is still in daily use at two of North America's largest money center banks. Unfortunately the way I wrote the code that actually prints the L/Cs will show December 31, 1999 and January 1, 1900, because I hardcoded the ", 19". Normally this really wouldn't make a whole lot of ifference, except that what this system is producing is legal contracts plus documentary attachments called bankers acceptances.

People adapt and change all the time. That's the amazing thing about humans, our ability to adapt, we don't like it, but we do it. The people who say it's too late are bone heads.

In my opinion Y2K is just a bump in the road of life.
