Yep. Oh there was a problem with the two number rather then four number year format in some computers but it was 80% hype even there.

"Oh the computer is going to think it is 1900 and planes weren't invented until after that so all the planes are going to crash!"

Really people? Computers don't think except in movies.

Yes I know about the chess playing computer but it is just calculating the move advantageous move from all the ones that have been programed into it. It is not actually thinking.
