Hahahaha!!! That's awesome. The instant I hit accept, Trillian died on me, then one by one, a bunch of my background apps died too. "Instruction at blah blah.... could not be read."

Who said it was Windows? We all know that Windows will cease to exist in the enthusiast world with the introduction of Longhorn, which is 2006.

I set my BIOS date to 3200, which caused no problems whatsoever. Patching software for date ranges is a simple matter. It's getting the hardware to do it properly that's the problem.

Actually, the failure you are seeing comes up long before 2098.

The key date is Jan. 18 2038. I forget what time exactly some time in the afternoon.

Oh, and if anyone is still using old Apple IIs, the latest year ProDOS & GS-OS can handle is 2004.

Longhorn *IS* Windows. It's a horrible DRM bastardization of Windows.

As it stands right now under Linux (Debian in 2002), the date command is unable to work after January 18th 2038 at 9:14PM and 7 seconds Central Standard Time.

*edit* it's not just linux, that's just the first source I found. It has to do witht he 4 byte date storing system.
