Potential Y2K scam! Have you heard of a computer board called Centurion which is being sold to cure a PC of Y2K problems? I think it is being sold across Canada and the U.S. for about $100. It is supposed to cure all Y2K problems on that PC including the "Crouch-Echlin" effect, whatever that is. They give you a simple test (year2000.exe) to download and test your computer. EVERY computer I have tested fails the RTC Century Rollover test. The "solution" says that most computers fail this test, and the solution is to buy and install one of their cards. Is it possible that the test always fails the "RTC" test UNLESS it senses the presence of the Centurion card? I would be interested to learn if anyone has run the test, and have it pass without the card being installed. Is there a way we can look at the year2000.exe code to see if the test is really checking dates? One of the Centurion sites (they have MANY resellers), is: micro2000.com Please post your results to this thread.
