  Well, my mum lived to 102, so if you manage that, you'll be looking
*back* on 2038.

  And what about your (grand)kids, if any?

  Anyway, as the smiley indicates, it's a joke, and, like with Y2K, it's
no so much the systems, but the software/programs/applications/
<whatever> running *on* those systems, which are the problem.

  BTW, your '1938' typo was quite funny, in this context!
