<Steve, Do you have Y2K tunnel vision? Oh, and this post is being typed on a computer which date has been set too 2006. It has been powered off and on, and it works fine.> You're just lucky. Some aren't. How about when some people did that standard PC test - changing date to 12/31/99 and waiting to see how it handled the roll-over. Someone doing the test forgot to change date back to current date, after seeing that it SUCCESSFULLY handled date-rollover. Two weeks later ... when date should have been 1/14/2000 ... computer showed a date of December 2000!!!! Didn't discover the problem until printer and computer stopped working properly. For more information: TIME DILATION: SECONDS SPEED UP SUBSTANTIALLY NEW Problem discovered August '97 intranet.ca 286 & 386 prevalent in manufacturing & process control More on Time Dilation Message 2927104 No one still understands why this is happening. Seems to be random occurrences. Cheryl
