Planet City Software Millennium Bug Compliance Kit
At just $49, the Millennium Bug Kit packs a powerful punch, ready to stave off the year 2000 problem. The kit tests and makes compliant all system clocks in the PC including the real-time clock, the BIOS, and the operating system clock. During the test, the kit changes the date and time to a few seconds before midnight on December 31, 1999, waits for the clocks to roll over into the next day, and then checks the date reported by the system.
It will also check to be sure that the PC recognized the year 2000 as a leap year and 2001 as a non-leap year, a feat performed by very few Y2K software programs. And it handles the problem posed by the dat 9/9/99, which some applications misread. Then it goes to work on applications, compiling a list of all executable programs, identifying potentially non-compliant software, and providing a list of real solutions. So now you and your PC can enter the millenium worry-free. |
