"Happy" 10000? Our Pick system took a nosedive because the Pick error log used a date/time stamp as a record index, and obtained the date using a "T1,4" conversion...

In all honesty, I was more worried about 10000 than 01/01/2000! :->

A similar problem appeared last month on September 8 when Unix timestamps finally reached 1000000000. Some programs truncate it to 9 characters resulting in the believe that its March 3, 1973. However, the only one Ive noticed so far is HPJetAdmin.
