First of all the system clock is polled by a process that accepts seconds from last date and changes it to two digit years. This calls for a code change that recompiles the entire operating system kernel of most systems.

Precisely!

And that change is done on the fly (at runtime) by the neural net chip. If you had done a little more research on SI you would have found a company called TechniClone that makes these chips. You would have found that these chips are far more dense that anything made by Intel and thus capable of not only storing the entire patched BIOS, but also of storing the code that actually initiates the fix. For more information on CLON, please see: Subject 14222

BTW, any rumors you may have heard about an incompatibility with the neural net board on an NT 5 system using DEC Alpha chips running at 300 mhz and above are not true.
