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.

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 ;)
