Really? When is 010501? Future? long Past? What do you think
the Y2k problem means? If you mean that it may not have problems for
Debian until nearly a centuryt from now, since we are not likely tp
pickup snapshots from esarly this century, I say you are suffering
from the same myopia that lead to the y2k problem. What is I want to
mention a snapshot of a book from 1926? with another snapshot from
1933? Like a diary? Or something? Is typing 2 characters going to be
an issue once again, despite all the hype and uproar from Y2K issue?
