Mike Echlin: 'History of "Time Dilation", or what the hell is this.' Mike Echlin's site! : intranet.ca Famous Time Dilation (TD) effect on PC'; also in some ES! I did not do any such tests myself. But I have read most of the discussions on C.S.Y2K; all of the testing and findings sound to me as professionally done and therefore credible. Regards, John -------- For years we have know there could be a problem with our PC's on the roll over at Y2k. We have tested for this by setting our clocks to just before midnight, Dec 31, 1999. Then shut them off and restarted them when we were sure that they would roll over. We would then set them past y2k and reboot. Then being sure they would work, set them back to normal time. Well Jace Crouch said to himself, "I am just gonna leave it here, and see what happens," not expecting to have any problems. Well he did, as you can see here from his posting to the comp.software.year-2000 news group. He found that the time on his machine seemed to be running fast. After 2 weeks his computer thought it was December. It also had some other weird effects, like his com2 port no longer working. After that we all started checking for it. I was able to reproduce the problem, here and so we started to look for the cause. <snip> How wide spread is this. In my testing, and reports I have had from others, we have tested around 100 computers so far. These have ranges from 286's up to Pentiums. The 286's have shown the most probability to have this problem, with 75% showing symptoms. The 386's and 486's have shown much lower numbers, but we have definate cases. The pentiums are showing hope, with only two reported cases of Time Dilation, both of these were Pentium OverDrives on 486 Mother Boards. We also have confirmed cases of this in embedded processors. (Embedded processors are computers, with the needed support chips, such as Real Time Clocks, that are Embedded in devices or equipment. Such as cars, elevators, and factories.) This means that even if your PC doesn't have the problem you may be affected by this, at a checkout line, or where ever you do the stuff you do to live. These need to be found, and fixed. But finding them is going to be a lot harder then finding if your pc has this problem or not.ÿ
