Although that _might_ be a theoretical concern, I really don't believe you _said_ that, Alan. =)
The thought that we'll survive another 8k years is more than optimistic, in my book. And more likely than not we'll probably end up re-numbering our years within the next millenium, like going from BCE to AD, we'll probably go from AD to AA (after armageddon?) or somesuch nonsense.
That may help alleviate the implicit year 10k problem, assuming we reschedule our years before 10k AD.
