despite what we all went through in the Y2K transition we still have RTC chips that support year counting from 00 to 99. I don't think it's just RTC chips - I think there are major software systems that were just "patched" to treat any 2-digit year 00-49 as 20xx, and 50-99 19xx (or whatever). Which, obviously, means that they did not fix the problem at all - just postponed it fo 50 years... |
