That reminds me of a story that was circulating just before the turn of the
century when Y2K was a big issue. A well-known corporation required
certification that all electronic office equipment was Y2K compliant. The
lighted "exit" sign over the main door, consisting of a light bulb inside a
glass box with lettering painted on the side, bore a tag certifying that the
sign was "Y2K compliant".
I wonder what would happen to that key if you tried to send in Japanese,
Russian or Arabic with it?
Incredible!
