Of those five, only ONE got confused about the date rollover. It was a
1994-vintage 486 system running DOS 6.22. I use it as one of my testbed
systems.
EVERY other system, including my old 486-based server, which any industry
"expert" would happily sneer at as "obsolete," handled the flip-over
without so much as an electronic hiccup.
We experienced only one oddity. One of our older Linux boxes, a 486-66
VLB running Linux 2.0.38, told me that my last login was in 1969. I
logged out, logged back in again and it got it right that time. No
problems since, although I've yet to reboot anything since the rollover.
