Might be a good time to warm up the mobile code factories. Anyone remember where they're parked?

<<<2004 is the first post-Y2K-fiasco year that is a leap-year.>>> G'day TED, We had a Y2K+4 bug on Jan 1st. We have a vendor product that happily worked through Y2K and every Jan 1 thereafter, but on Jan 1, 2004 decided it was storing items in it's database as if it was Jan 1, 2000. Vendor sent through a one byte patch pretty quickly (changing a MVC length 2 into a CLC), but then had to spend most of the day writing a program to fix up all the stored database records. Obviously they were caught a bit surprised. If only we had bought the 100% automated fix from CSGI this would never have happened! tom
