    I'm always looking at this page cause I don't always remember all the off the wall date formats. I found this! http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/8kb3ddd4.aspx#yyyyySpecifier[^] So their Y10K compliant as far as formatting a date? But anything over 9999 blows up. Guess MS has a little bit more work to do on Y10K compliance? Hopefully they get it done on time!

        LOL. Little under 8000 years... they better start working now. Linux probably already supports it :)

                Thanks Ravi, I've been battling with multiple embedded sensor problems since yesterday so must have been a Freudian slip. (I don't know what he was doing wearing a slip though) :)

                          Don't worry. If you like your four-digit years, you can keep them. Period.

                            Ah, memories. I spent way more time answering customers' inquiries about Y2K compliance than I did analyzing for potential issues. We did not have any failure of systems once 2000 arrived. I did let customers know of the potential issue in our programs that would happen in 2038 (C's 32-bit time overflows), but I also indicated we expected to have a new version out by then. :) Prior to Y2K was the concern about Sept. 9, 1999, which when represented as 9999, might be interpreted as an "end of data" marker. I remember explaining to one employee that such date codes would be six digits long, with zeroes, because of the need for two digits in each of the month and day. Of course, that brings us back to the year before Y10K; will the year 9999 pose problems in legacy code?

                              Well, they have a lot of time to get this right, but by then, we may all be using Google Neural Implant devices.

                                I expect that before we reach the year 10,000 we will switch to the universal date format as used by most of the alien planets we have visited. Also as 1 year is the time it takes the Earth to travel round the Sun, the length of a year will be the tine the planet Zog takes to travel round it's star. If I am wrong, then please let me know in the year 10,001ad.
