   Actually, how about combining the two and creating   
   a Year 2100 problem? That way I get to live for an   
   extra 10 years before losing my 1980s timestamps,   
   and people born in say 2080 don't need to recompile   
   my binaries. They will still be able to do a "dir" and   
   see sensible dates. In the year 2120 they would only   
   be able to see sensible dates for files starting from   
   1990, but that's probably sufficient.
