OT - Dump thy Sun Stock.

I am a programmer doing Y2K remediation on Java apps. Came across
this little jewel this morning. Written a mere three years ago.
Pathetic.

package CoreJava;

public class Day implements Cloneable
{ /**

*/

public Day()
{ java.util.Date today = new java.util.Date();
year = today.getYear() + 1900;
month = today.getMonth() + 1;
day = today.getDate();
}

Guess what folks, this won't work come year 2000. Written
three years ago. If this is the kind of work being done
at Sun, I repeat, dump thy Sun stock.
