From Stewart Brand's "Written on the Wind" (Civilization 10/98):

"Today's bleeding-edge technology is tomorrow's broken legacy system ....  The
digital industries must shift ... [and anticipate] the Year 10,000 Problem,
and assign five digits instead of four to year dates.  "01998" they'll write,
at first frivolously, then seriously."

Signed,  Disgusted with the fraudulent sidewalk stories & lack of serious
content on BP.
