We had no crisis. Standard around here interpreted YY >= 50 as 1900-something and YY < 50 as 2000 something. Made the whole millenium thing even more of a non-event then it turned out to be in the rest of the world.
oh, don't bother, when it's 2050 you'll get into the party as wellFormerly known as "CyberShy"

The world ends in 2050... Sid and Firaxis said so.I drink to one other, and may that other be he, to drink to another, and may that other be me!

But the world is really ending in 2046. Or was it '48? I forget - anywhy that's when 32 bit Era time runs out."The number of political murders was a little under one million (800,000 - 900,000)." - chegitz guevara on the history of the USSR.
"I think the real figures probably are about a million or less." - David Irving on the number of Holocaust victims.

To save on digits, DDDYYY format is more effective. The extra year digit gets around any confusion in year.
The computer can easily display the date in a more palatable fashion. The date 256-002 is not as clear as 13-09-02, but computers can understand it easy enough.One day Canada will rule the world, and then we'll all be sorry.

DDD...!,
That's gross.
You can't do away with months.
As for YYY,
I like that.
Does anybody else out there sign checks, etc as
../../2, rather than ../../02 ? It seems simple efficiency to me."I'm so happy I could go and drive a car crash!"
"What do you mean do I rape strippers too? Is that an insult?"
