Yes it does but its for the better.  Remember yk2?  In the first few months about 25% percent of the world population would be gone, know if we started using this product we might reach another y2k.  Then what how would we survive?  Cause we dont need to do the stuff we used too we done away with it.

Would be cool for chess games an such but nothing more.  Which defeats the use of me getting it.  When you play a game its you against pc code.  If you use thought your gaining more of an advantage an the game looses its difficulty, cause part of a good game is having people not win right away but have to work at it.  Not mean in the FF series even thought there good just really long.

Y2k was related to a minor oversight concerning the interpretation of the year portion of a short date. The assumption that the year 2000 was so far away brought on the use of simple prepending 19 to the short date. IE, 01/01/98 becomes 1998. However, after the year flipped to 2000, that dates year would become 00, or 1900. Thus the problem. really minor- however, the media escalated it (as they tend to do with otherwise ho-hum computer related stories) essentially giving all computers everywhere a conscious knowledge of existence, and (apparently) when the year rolled over computers would "know" that things aren't supposed to exist and/or that no planes are scheduled to fly, and make a conscious effort to make them fall down. Ludicrous- yes.

the next Y2k crisis isn't until 2038. MFC 's CDate will hopefully not be used anymore....

Then what how would we survive?

by adapting.

Exatly but not every one would be able too.
