[edit] Merge from various articles

Per Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/Year 32,768 problem, I've created this page as a merge of

As of tonight, this is very rough, and mainly consists of copying the raw content from each of these articles. This is not the intended final result; I have plans for more edits in the near future to make this more coherent and less redundant, but I wanted to get the original content in the edit history.--NapoliRoma (talk) 06:40, 21 January 2008 (UTC)

Grouping under a single heading (more descriptive than 'Y2K and Y2K again') all the problems caused by using two digits to represent a year would be a good idea. Then Year 1900 problem and Year 2070 problem could also be merged into this article. Only Year 2000 problem really has sufficient unique content to warrant a separate article. —Safalra (talk) 12:25, 27 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] FAT filesystem date format (year 2108)

The FAT filesystem date format (also used internally in ZIP files etc.) only goes until December 31st, 2107 (though some Microsoft operating systems reportedly only supported dates up through 2099)... AnonMoos (talk) 22:59, 26 March 2008 (UTC)
