Check outghis article, it appears that somone recently patented the
idea of using a pivot date, such as 30, and having the computer
consider numbers below that pivot point as being in the year 20??, ie
as being from 2000 - 2029. and he's trying to force companies that
used that programming technique to fix their Y2K problems, to pay him
millions. 70% of companies supposedly use that concept.
