[plug] MacOS: Sorry Dave ;-)

[Peter Caffin]

Found this on Slashdot:

:XBS writes "It seems that Macs are not quite Y2K compliant. They are 
:hardware compliant, but software wise not quite. This is research done 
:by Pedagoguery, which makes a Y2K-testing tool for the Mac. So if you 
:open a file with dates that only contain 2 digits,that does a 
:'StringToDate' routine currently interprets '89' as 1989. Next year it 
:will interpret '89' as 2089. The rule of thumb from Pedagoguery said. 
:"So, after the year 2000, most Mac applications will work correctly, as 
:long as you don't open any files that contain dates." "
