I was still using Dr T and my Atari and I was smug that nothing would happen to me,,

Yes, I believe he has it wrong tho. 12/24/2037 isn't the end of mixmkr's life or an integer issue. Simply the end, period.


 
Wait, the Mayans were wrong and the world didn't already end?
 
Does that mean I can't sleep in late tomorrow?
 
Darn....

on this day 12/24/2037 you'll probably return from the grandkids house, enjoy a nice cup of eggnog by the fire.
and you will hear your Intel I-17 speak to you from in the other room...
"Sonar will now self destruct"

2037 will be the year that the following things happen in Sonar......
 
checked devices actually DO go to the top of the list
we can have negative measures
staff updates happen..
 
ok fine..personally waiting for the top two for 9 years, but had to throw #3 in :D
 
anyway, i suspect CW will release all of this the day before all the PC's go up in smoke...

Oh lord, here we go with the whole Y2K38 doomsaday thing now.


Some programmers will be rolling in the dosh. I did back in 1999.


Y2K was huge for the economy here. Everybody bought into it and spent big bucks on massive generators and ups systems. My best yearly income to date came in '99. I guess we'll never know if it was real but people bought in to it. When nothing happened at midnight the 'experts ' explained that it was a good thing people listened to them. It really was win,win either way for them. Bring on Y2K38 for kiddos down the road.

I guess 20+ years in the software business is a "lifetime"...


I'll count that as odd.  On my account it says "Membership valid through (eternity)".
 
(You will receive lifetime updates for this product forever!)
 
I wonder how Cake differentiates those who get the "very very long, yet finite" membership and those who get eternal membership into the afterlife and beyond?

The cost of a cup of coffee, right?

...not so far fetched.  I've seen that "cup of coffee" price go from 10 cents to $4+ in my lifetime.

Mine still says "Valid through [Infinity Symbol]".  Maybe I'm a Time Lord?  (see Doctor Who)
It's just one of those wibbly-wobbly, timey-wimey things.
