There will be >>NO<< PARTY for software engineers on Jan 1 2000, because at 
that point all of the old bad programmers will have to figure out how to fix
all the programs with 89 instead of 1989 as dates in data.  For them
at least the old milennia will end, and a new one ( a kinder gentler
more user-friendly one ) will begin.

"and the master programmer spake :  Now my son, you are truly enlightened."
