	A very apt quote that I've just stumbled across: He hoped and prayed that there wasn't an afterlife. Then he realized there was a contradiction involved here and merely hoped that there wasn't an afterlife. Douglas Adams Keep searchin', Martin ____________ Mandriva Linux A user friendly OS!

	The year 2038 problem is next. It affects systems that store a signed 32-bit integer, and interpret this number as the number of seconds since 00:00:00 UTC on Thursday, 1 January 1970. The furthest time that can be represented this way is 03:14:07 UTC on Tuesday, 19 January 2038. Times beyond this moment will "wrap around" and be stored internally as a negative number, which these systems will interpret as a date in 1901 rather than 2038. Further, while most programs will only be affected in or very close to 2038, programs that work with future dates will begin to run into problems much sooner. For example, a program that works with dates 20 years in the future will have to be fixed no later than 2018. Because most 32-bit Unix-like systems store and manipulate time in this format, it is usually called Unix time, and so the year 2038 problem is often referred to as the Unix Millennium Bug. OMG, batten down the hatches, store food, dig fall out shelters, make your will. You have been warned! Only 6 years to go!!!

	I wonder what the media will write when we're all still here on Saturday... Cures for hangovers :) ____________ In an alternate universe, it was a ZX81 that asked for clothes, boots and motorcycle. Beer/wine o'clock, the best of the o'clocks. Humpty dumpty sat on a wall, along came a giant, and cooked him for breakfast.

	I have my underground bunker ready, just in case. It's only stocked with the finest scotch whiskey made. Not going to use the rocks, it's straight up, for me. Bring it on!

	1 hour to go .... ;-) This is as much fun as a shuttle launch! Wouldn't it be a hoot if they found a lost bit of the Mayan Calendar that was deciphered as "T-10 and holding" ;-))
