Yeah, you would have thought all the worry over the year 2000 would have been fresh in their minds.

amazing. As a programmer, it is obvious that was the problem. It this was done by a government lackey, you could understand it; if it was contracted out, it was probably to an officials son. Broward, isn't that demoRat controlled? That would explain a lot.

Good call! I was about to say the same thing. They used an unsigned 16 bit integer and it rolled over at 32767.
