The problems have to be fixed first. First you have to be Y2K compliant. I had my PC advanced to 2009 for a couple days, worked fine. I did NOT run any date sensitive programs (like Quicken) because we are in 1998, not 2009. Didn't want Quicken to keep reminding me my bills were 11 years past due. I advanced a number of home and office machines to 2000+ and they worked fine. Note: My computer had to have the BIOS upgraded first so it was Y2K compliant. That was a non-scientific test I did myself. Everything I tested worked fine. Here is a link to some companies, check out what they say about their products and Y2K compliance: exchange2000.com P.S. I am not saying there is no Y2K problem out there, so don't take this the wrong way. These were home and small office equipment. Not mainframes. Do your own research, I am not an expert or scientist, just addicted to computers. IF YOU ADVANCE YOUR COMPUTERS CLOCK, MAKE SURE YOUR BACK UP YOUR DATA FIRST!!
