But, Y2038 is entirely different. In Y2K, computers still kept perfect time and internally had no problem with the roll-over to year 2000. But not so with Y2038! In Y2038, computers are going to forget how to tell time and for many will roll-back to the year 1970!

And by then 95 percent of technology in use will have been re-developed.

And if it isn't, I'll be 93 then and somehow I don't think this will be a problem for me

No kidding. When it all goes to 64 bit (or higher), this whole thing is a moot point.

So, no...the sky isn't falling. It's just frozen Airline toilet waste products that are hitting your roof, people.
