thank you. this is the first time i've ever seen anyone come up with an alternative to the flip 1972 answer. i think i'll get out my brother P-Touch, while it still works and make a strip containing your information and stick it onto every electronic gizmo i own. while i'm writing to you, you mention the obvious leap year problem. i have been under the impression for many years that 2000 will NOT be a leap year because of the Rule of 400. why aren't people aware of this, besides the obvious reason that those alive today we're alive 400 years ago? may i trouble you with more related questions in this clock setting matter? acc'd to some much earlier posts by John Mansfield, there are some other kinds of clocks inside some of our electronics besides the ones we can set. i'm sorry i don't know the proper name for these other clock devices, but it is my current understanding these 'other clocks' cannot be reset, but have to be removed and replaced. if one does the 2 date shift thing you are suggesting, will it cause a conflict between the two clocks? how does one determine if they have a 'second clock' that will cause conflict? which clock 'rules' in these instances?
