One of my hobbies is to observe what sort of operating system is being used
when I see it in a business. Rarely is it windows. More often it is DOS
or custom, (and in text mode). I wonder how we will adjust to incorrect
dating on some of these older systems. Biggest larf on computer consumers
that the system ever had. I bet a flood of perfectly good workstations
with anachronous dates will arrive in the twelve month. :=) Save yer
pennies, 'cause that's all they'll cost!
(being overly optimistic to wish it so)

Failing for having moved too fast sets you back farther than caution would
have.
