Oh yeah? So the moon was 1/4 full a few weeks ago in LA when their Y2K test
resulted in all that raw sewage being strewn about?

Well, given that the expected life span of our solar system is just about 5gig
years and that our whole univers is estimated to be approximately 15 gig years
old, I think we don't have to worry much about the 290gig boundary. Maybe this
should be a good opportunity to change the clock systems in computers and rather
than deal with useless stuff like 290 gig years, let the max be somewhat smaller
(say 20gig) and have a finer grain, dive further into the subdivisions of
seconds and milliseconds.
Cheers,
Al.

Not compliant. It constantly verifies the scene files. When it
flips to 00 it erases all POV files including itself. Then the
RAM rises up and attacks the CPU.
The things some people worry about.

Oh no! Whatever can we do to prevent this? :-)

I would try soaking your CPU in vinegar for the few days leading up to the
new year. Also, make sure the exp. date on the vinegar is later than Jan 1,
2000.
(Mark, sorry about the personal reply)

Hah, think about this. Unless we do more exploration in space, we're either
going to kill oueselves on earth by screwing with the environment too much,
fry when our sun explodes in what scientists think will be in about five
billion years, or maybe not even be here by the time Y290g rolls around :)
In essence, after we switch to 64-bit, screw any Ywhatever bug ;)
