OTOH, if we all used Roman Numerals for data storage
still, there would
be no Y2K problem due to "extra" digits!
In fact, even when using the indic-arabic system, if rome would
still rule (name the legal follower :) the date would be way more
aprobiate, since it would be the year 2751 - so we still would
have 49 more years ... the unix problem will hit earlier.
