alright… 2 hrs and 13 min till the new year. My computer may not reboot after that. I ran a Y2K test and it failed… so I loaded a fix… after the fix it passed 2 tests and failed one (I only ran three). If the fix didnt work… GOODBYE netfriends everywhere!! I cant afford a new computer (or even to bring it in to a shop to see if they can fix) wont be able to for as far as I can see into the distance. BEST WISHES TO ALL! 🙂

It’s probably too late for this to do any good (either that, or you are having no problems at all,) but you can try resetting the date to something else, preferably “January 01, 1972”, so that your Days will match your Date.
