How do you fix it? Well, you'll have to buy new software for every program you own! And, most all of the computers and hardware will have to be replaced as well!

OHMYGOD! You mean I can't use the same computer and software the way I have for the last 40 years? I love my IBM 1620 - and you'll only remove my card reader from my cold, dead arms!

Let me see, roughly 15 years ago the 386 SX came out. There are how many of those still left in homes? Other than as collectors items, I don't think you can even give those away.

30 years from now, our current computers will be an interesting historical footnote.

So, I don't think I'm going to worry about 2038...
