And no doubt some poor slave just finished chisling in
all the closing
stock prices for the Roman Stock Exchange and some spelling weenie piped up
and said only, "You misspelled 18 on line 30 there."
and said only,
"You misspelled XVIII on line XXX there."
Now we know where his family
went after there was no longer
a roman stock exchange :)
OTOH, if we all used Roman Numerals for data storage still, there would
be no Y2K problem due to "extra" digits!
