I *knew* somebody would ask this... Well, in Unix time is measured in
seconds since Epoch (Jan 1, 1970, midnight). 32 bit integers will run
out in 2038 or so, so you ought to have bought a 64 bit machine by
then :-)

The year-2000 problem doesn't arise because there is no place where
times are stored as a two-digit year value.

Am I wrong?
