What I read in the paper last night really took the cake.  It seems,   
according to 'the experts', that the real cause for concern is that some   
computers will interpert 9999 as a stop instruction.  Now, first off I'd   
like to know how a stored date gets translated into an instruction.   
 Second, just how old would code have to be for this to even be   
applicable?!  Oh and lastly .. just how much are these 'experts' (aka   
alarmists) paid?!

Bob Clarke
