[QUOTE="Nighttide, post: 28805, member: 274"] [b]2036 and Y2k[/b] [font=Verdana]I'm sorry if this has been brought up before, but I thought it was interesting. Before I go any further, however, let me just throw out a few qualifications. I do not believe that John Titor was/is a time traveler. However, I have been willing to suspend my disbelief because, well, I find it entertaining to no end, reading everyone?s arguments and counter-arguments and all. And the truth is I never believe anything completely, as I feel that?s always the safest route. Anyway. I did a short search this evening (or morning, I guess) on the year 2036 which yielded some interesting results. They?re interesting because, if I remember correctly, Titor made mention of Y2K a number of times, and during my search the value 2036 came up, well, a number of times in regards to the Y2K ?problem.? Just to toss in a Titor quote as an example, he said (as if you all need to know what he said): And And In truth, none of that means much. Now, let me present what I found relating the year 2036, from which Titor claims to have traveled, and the Y2K ?Bug.?

But moving right along? Another message on a different site ([url=http://wn.cyberwerks.com/1998/0184.html]http://wn.cyberwerks.com/1998/0184.html[/url]) also regards Y2K glitches and the year 2036: Again, no big deal. Still, kind of interesting. And another website ([url=http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products/year-2000/conditions.html]http://h71000.www7.hp.com/openvms/products...conditions.html[/url]) states this: Oh, and this site ([url=http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/amiga/y2000.html):]http://www.netbsd.org/Ports/amiga/y2000.html):[/url] And this site ([url=http://rfc2626.x42.com/):]http://rfc2626.x42.com/):[/url] And so on and so forth.
