Yep it will keep working no problem but the Beechglen patch will work to 2037-12-31.  I've made similar adjustments to our software at Robelle, as well as tested the Beechglen patch.

I think it's fun as well, but it is important to remember context of what is in play here, of course some other hardware/OS have issues coming up in the 2030s. ( 

Of course this makes you wonder what happens to various systems around the world that may involve launch codes. (

    Back to my previous suggestion of ignoring years, I you care about the 
    day of the week (MON, TUE, WED, THU, FRI, etc.) choose the year 2000 or 
    1972 as your fictional year.
