According to the gigasecond server ( http://www.araneus.fi/gigasecond/ ) he will be 2^31 seconds old on Friday January 15, 2038 ( He was 2^30 seconds old on Jan. 7 this year). But with cryonics, nanotechnology and proper precautions, perhaps he will turn out to be a 64 bit quantity. Here's hoping. Imagine, 10 digit major kernel numbers... :-) Keith -- Keith Lofstrom keithl@xxxxxxxx Voice (503)-520-1993 KLIC --- Keith Lofstrom Integrated Circuits --- "Your Ideas in Silicon" Design Contracting in Bipolar and CMOS - Analog, Digital, and Scan ICs
