Y2K is back! It's called the Unix Millennium Bug, Y2K38. All because of 1's & 0's. The date on your computer is in Binary and is 32 bits long. 00000000 00000000 00000000 00000000 (32) = Thursday, 1 January 1970 & 11111111 11111111 11111111 11111111 (32)= Tuesday, 19 January 2038. Don't think that this wont affect you anytime soon because, In May 2006, an early manifestation of the Y2038 problem in the AOLserver software. Most of the systems used today are 8/16 bit processors and these are the ones that will be affected. If you are looking to buy a new machine? Make sure it is a 64 bit and this will not affect you.
