While I expect 32 bit, UNIX type system clocks to reset seven seconds after
3:14a.m. on Janurary 19th, 2038 - it should be a different story for 64 bit
clocks (which are being implimented as we speak) which should last beyond
the year 290,000,000,000.  I don't think the phrase 'Y290g bug' will take
off though.
