    Something was somehow lacking today as the numbers in my car's digital odometer changed from 099999 to 100000 when I compare it to the memories of watching my dad's car's mechanical odometer do the same. :(( :sigh: It just didn't have the same sort of satisfaction. Judy

      Judy - I need for you to do a lot more miles in the coming months to see if you can get an overflow exception :D

          Yeah, it's odd, it should change to form 099999 to 09999A :doh:

            In my previous car, I anxiously watched as the (mechanical) odometer went from 199,999 to 200,000 when I heard a faint "snap" ... the odometer stopped rotating - one of the plastic gears had broken a tooth - too much stress moving all of those digits ... :sigh: :-D

              Yeah, I took a photograph (with actual film) when my wife's '67 Mustang fastback rolled to 100,000. You're right Judy, it's just not the same. :((

                It took 6 1/2 years to get this far - I don't think I can make that exception happen. Poor construction of a test suite on my part ;P

                    Nah, they just made a special version of the odometer for those decimal Americans. ;)
