@macrumors as someone who worked on #y2k, I'm always disappointed when only the last two digits of the year get used.
Having "survived" the Y2K "catastrophe" , I hadn't heard of the Year 2038 problem yet…

Respect to all IT people who worked hard to solve the real Y2K issues during the annoying hype leading up to the event, which attracted profiteers abusing the fears.
