Off topic: Then can I ask what is the nature of the problem with this millenium problem. Sorry if I misunderstood, but are you saying the current mainframe systems will last until 2027? Is the system you designed still in use and if so will it be able to recognize the millenium years? My understanding was that in major corporations, banks, governments, etc.... is that they would have a problem in 2000 due to the fact that, for example, a person receiving a pension would after the millenium be considered by the computer not even born yet, and thus not eligible to receive the pension. Other examples exist. It seems to me that the logic of a 2 digit date was kept from the original computer concept, like you said. However, it does not change my belief that this was not an unforseen eventuality.
