I use a down-reved reversion of a time sheet program that's going to die
Jan 1, 2000. Bugs the heck out of me, because I don't want to upgrade --
the newer versions are big memory hogs, take up too much disk space, etc.
etc. Sure, I can upgrade -- but it will be a hassle for me, and if I don't
do it right I may loose 3+ years of records. This program came out in '93,
so you'd think the programmers would have known to make it Y2K compliant,
but they were cutting corners or something....
So, yes, I personally have a Y2K problem sitting on my computer, from
installing and using old software. Really a bummer.
