Hi Ice, you seem to be a knowledgeable guy. Do you know the name of the person/people who decided that Cobol only needed two digits to express years? I think we should name the party in his honor. I guess he probably would rather not, in light of the fact that he would be vulnerable to crazies. Still, I think all great blunders deserve their own hall of fame. Kind of like they celebrate Donner Pass at University of Colorado, do I have that right?
