Year 2107
The timestamp stored in FAT filesystems, introduced with MS-DOS, and applications that convert other formats to the FAT/MS-DOS format, will overflow at the end of 2107. The FAT/MS-DOS timestamp is stored in the directory entry with the year represented as an unsigned seven bit number (0–127), relative to 1980.

Famous quotes containing the word year:
“He bends to the order of the seasons, the weather, the soils and crops, as the sails of a ship bend to the wind. He represents continuous hard labor, year in, year out, and small gains. He is a slow person, timed to Nature, and not to city watches. He takes the pace of seasons, plants and chemistry. Nature never hurries: atom by atom, little by little, she achieves her work.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
