old old old news~


I remember having to come in and work the sept 9th, 1999 rollover (such was the hysteria of the era, haha)

people were concerned for some reason that the date changing from 9/9/99 would cause some sort of catastrophe

the unix timestamp one tho has been well known for an awfully long time
