Bachman, I excerpted this from the last article you posted: Compaq has insisted that the Real Time Clock issue is a "red herring" and that software that accesses the Real Time Clock is "bad" software. Prove It 2000 disputes this claim and points to the fact that Windows NT software, for instance, accesses the Real Time Clock for time and date related functions. If this is true it sounds very serious. "Bad" software or no, I wouldn't want to take the chance that software I rely on accesses Compaq's real time clock. I wonder how corporate customers will respond to this and how Compaq will deal with the problem. Thanks for some terrific links. TTFN, CTC
