The old SC did not need any "wild" Power Editor to use the full
language. And one does not need any permission from Omega to use
these capabilities.
I think you are getting a little bit carried away when it comes to
the (legitimate) issue of copyright protection.
Furthermore it is not an unreasonable question to ask for Y2K
compliance even for older products.
What would you think if the electronic ignition or the ABS of your car
would stop working on the 1.1.2000 ?
I have not heard that Omega wants to support Y2K for the old SC
versions - did you ?
