And unlike the Y2K problem, because 2038 isn't some sexy, scary new year
like 2000 was, it will almost certainly be ignored until it's too late.
Hopefully there will be few 32-bit systems with that problem still
running that will matter by then.

I'm hoping that there will be a lot of them so that I can come out of
retirement and make big bucks on contracts like some of the COBOL
programmers did under Y2K... evil-grin

The company my wife works for contracts programmers from India.
They are the only ones who still do COBOL, which is what the company
still runs.
