There are two issues at work here, hardware and software. Chipsets used
by the major vendors (apple, hp, dell, compaq, ibm) have either always
been compliant or have been since the mid 90s. Compliance in software
has been spotty. I'm using Claris Em@iler (Mac), and even though I
tested it by running the date ahead, I didn't spot the error in
datestamping incoming mail until the new year. Outgoing mail doesn't
seem to have a problem.

I had a linguistics professor who said that it's man's ability to use
language that makes him the dominant species on the planet. That may be.
But I think there's one other thing that separates us from animals.
We aren't afraid of vaccuum cleaners.
