i think its something to do with 32-bit processors which we use now. hence the problem
i m not very sure though.
if i m rite
33 years hence we will be using 128 or 256 bit processors and it wont be an issue

It's not hardware related at all. it's OS related. And specificaly, the amount of bits allocated to the seconds storage.

digit does some pruning in order to free up the system from filling up..i guess....many people have lost quite a few posting because of the spring cleaning that happens here every once in awhile. yes u do have to be a bit carefull....can't do anything about it though....house rules i guess
