Bank of Queensland's EFTPOS's role over to 2016 rather than 2010

Thanks for pointing to this one as well Alistair (http://watirmelon.com/2010/01/03/software-quality-metrics/).

News.com.au reported Bank of Queensland EFTPOS machines rolled from to 01 Jan 2016 rather than 01 Jan 2010. Retailers reported losses as unable to process electronic transactions.

As one commentor noted - it is a Y2.01K bug!

    Problem reported as fixed. The "glitch" affected 15,000 EFTPOS terminals.
