Well guys if you consider i'm well into my 6th decade, there's not much chance of me being alive by that date as i would be approaching 100 years old. :whistle :lol:

I don't think computers would even rely on binary programming 30 years from now, I'm sure something more efficient than 1s and 0s will be developed.

I remember the big fuss about the millenium bug... and my thoughts were "Oh, No!!! I'll have to re-enter all my MS Money data. The Apocalypse has come!!!!" God forbid we have a glitch in our "perfect" systems. I think we deal with problems and bugs ten times bigger than this at least once a month. We'll live. But at least there's is some time to figure out the best way to fix it... even if it is ignore it because the machines and OS's it will affect will be long dead by then. (And no, not meaning you, Mac, or any of our other experienced and wise people. :P )
