Y2K problem for days-between-dates for TI-84 series calcs

TI is apparently not worried about this, I suppose because 30-year mortgages begun this year would terminate in 2047. But in three years, things may get dicey for them. I doubt that very many financial-types use TI calculators for their work, but if they did they will run into a Y2K-type problem in the near future for the 83/84 series.

I doubt that the TI financial calcs have this problem.

Fortunately for us, HP always got this right.

Yes - TI needs to update their code to allow for four digit years, their days between date function is slightly outdated.
