From Roy Wood
Prompted by your piece on the Amstrad PC1215-50
(Feedback, 13 March),
I would like to point out that the Sinclair QL will also not have any Y2K problems,
despite having been released in 1984. This is because the date is stored in
seconds from an original date in July 1961. The crunch time for users of this
system will come in 2089, when the number will become too large for the
register.
