Yes, and no. The iso9660 date format stores the year as an unsigned (I hope)
byte representing the number of years since 1900, so the whole thing stops
working after 2155 - so 2200, 2300, etc... won't be a problem.

Tell me do you really know your brother man
Cause a heart speaks louder than a colour can
And why would you even shake a man's hand
If you're not going to help him stand
