I cringe to think of how much of my legacy code exists in the world. On ROMs that are in old equiment that's still alive and in use. I've got some old embedded apps that will crap the bed when Unix time() wraps around in 2038. I'll be in my 80's then, and most likely blissfully unaware of the havoc I've wreaked on mankind.

With your passengers screaming in terror behind you.
