>>>Admittedly, we hear this thread/story every once in awhile, and being a good programmer/analyst/consultant I must follow up on these rumours.

>>The most recent story is that Foxpro was not Y1900 compliant. These grumpy guys, I mean Foxpro programmers, just cheated clients for the last 100 years. It's true story, one friend of mine spoke with another friend who was told this by one guy who held very important position in Microsoft from 1896 to 1902. Their payroll system was written in FoxBase-- and he still misses couple checks from Jan. 1900, so you understand how good his memory is.

>And another thing. We've heard about major earthquakes in the earth's past as well as the demise of the dinosaur due to meteor strikes. If the millenium bug was such a big deal, why don't we hear anything about the catastrophic problems that were experienced at the last millenium change?

ROFL! And yet another thing...the Y1K problem caused the Dark Ages.
