Sorry... but you still lost me.  Maybe I am just a bit dense today,
but what happens in 2038?  Help?

I second this thought.

OK, OK, if you insist. The date is January 19th, recall that:

"As they hurried into their truck Nene took one final deep
breath of the chilly January air."

The year (2038) is trickier, but it's well within the
"Knight Saber era".

So you have the date and the year, as you can "C" :)

I'll leave the rest to Google.

I have interpreted this to be some sort of glitch in computation with 
a similar cause as the infamous year 2000 rollover bug (gods how I 
hate that glitch).

However I am unable to figure out what you are getting at exactly nom_de_plume.

I hold a degree in Computer Science and yet I don't get what you are 
referring to as if it were self evident.

Please remember many people on this list are not Computer Nerds like 
myself and so have little hope of knowing the exact concept you are 
spouting.

It is hardly spoon-feeding us if you explain it for the benefit of 
those who don't catch the exact intent.

having said that I think I shall re-lurk.
