>The last time.. was Y2K
The next one is Jan 2038 when code compiled for 32-bit *nix-like operating systems will see time go backwards*. I know that one large food processing company was still using a 1990s 486 Xenix system for their carcase scales about five years ago.
* time_t (seconds since the Unix epoch) was defined as a signed 32-bit integer and will flip negative.
