Perpetual dates fixed in Amiga OS?
« on: January 02, 2008, 06:08:50 PM »
Amigas got through Y2K just fine, but there is date in our future when older versions of the OS will stop interpretting the current time currectly.

Was this oversight ever corrected in OS3.5 or 3.9?

@ pjhutch

IIRC, this is Amiga's same problem (a 32-bit number) or very similar to it.  I think our problen date happens about the same time.

There used to be an article (Amiga specific) that went into a lot detail about this; I can't find it now.

Thanks Matt!

I'll be 86 at the first hurdle.  Some clever programmer will come up with something by then.  I'd hate to give up my Amigas if I don't have to.
