This brings to mind the famous PDP-8 date problem.  Under OS-8, the year was
encoded as 3 bits (!!), which promptly ran out in 75 or 76, at which point
the powers that were managed to scrape another bit.  Anybody out there still
running OS-8?  What did you do when the year turned to sh*t again?  (Buy an
8080 based machine for improved performance and memory capability?)
