Who REALLY KNOWS if that will "outlast FoxPro" or not??? ;-) But also, who really knows if our current calendar will still be in use that far in the future?!?!

Not unimaginable, there'll be further rush to the code reusability, and there may once be some bloody emulator of everything which will simply reuse our code without much warrying of what's inside, and simply run it in who knows what environment. And it may well crash somebody who has to receive some money on Feb 29th, 2100; our bit of software may simply consider this as an impossible date. Well, Fox won't, but imagine the interest calculus being off by 0.003 times the interest rate, because the year is not one day longer...
