| the worst thing about the y2k38 thing is that retirement age is 65,

well, if the politcos and other people who don't have
retirement income worries get their way, the age will
be, by then, about 300 or so .... ½ ;-)
not to mention that mandatory retirement age is a bit
ageist, but let's not go there ...... OTOH, for Y2K,
the old-time COBOLers were dragged out of retirement
at very lucrative rates (multiple thousands of dollars
a week), or so rumo(u)r has it ......
cheers!
