Um yea....ok.

Why did we need to know this? In 2038, 100 different versions of YIM will have come and gone, if it still exists.

[Verve]

it appears to be a the date where Windows ended their clock support or something... Nobody will be using the same systems 30 years from now, so this is worthless IMO.

wow siva... you have way too much free time.

Do you seriously think that in 2038 we will be using Windows XP?
