Debugging the Y2k Story 1999 by William A. Plice, III and Stephen M. Schumacher ghsport.com >>>>Devices that do have a date that is actually synchronized with the current date probably use it to stamp output records, and will function just as well whether the date comes out as 00 or 100 or 1900 or 2000. (Perhaps 100 is the most likely since the year number inside is probably a byte having a range of 0 to 255.) Any such device that shuts down because the date output format has rolled over would have been programmed either by someone too stupid to program or by someone intending sabotage.<<<<
