Check out an article in the USA paper's Money section on 7-7-1998.
Breakthrough
may help squish year 2000 bug. The product Millennium Solutions from Data
Integrity Inc. (DII) has figured out that the date problem is a simple
addition
problem. Example given in the article is a person born in 1902. take 1 - 2 =
-1, then add 50 to get 49: add 50 again to get 99. The correct answer for a
person born in 1902 in the year 2001 is 99 years old.
100,000 line of code per day has been tested with this program. How fast is
the
product now in use?
