My first year-end retirement account statement -- for 1971! -- listed my projected retirement date as the incredibly distant, unimaginable, science-fiction-like date of February 1, 2012. So back then at least TIAA-CREF understood time windows spanning entire careers and beyond.
Quoting: I was somewhat surprised that it took so long for Y2K to rise to the top, with 30-year mortgages and such forward-looking things being far from uncommon. But I guess those systems all got fixed one at a time as their windows passed 2000, without enough awareness that anyone said "Hey, we need to fix this globally, now that storage (both memory and DASD) is cheap!" ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For IBM-MAIN subscribe / signoff / archive access instructions, send email to [email protected] with the message: INFO IBM-MAIN
