-Caveat Lector- When Microsoft sent me their web-site with pages on y2k compliancy for pc's, that 4 digit clock thing was *one* of the things they suggested. They also said they were sending out c-d roms to fix things but I never received mine ordered over the phone a few weeks ago. Hope this doesn't count as Spam... :-/ But here's the letter and url I received about a month ago for anyone interested. Kathy Dear Microsoft Customer: The year 2000 is rapidly approaching, and there are simple steps you can take to get your hardware, software and data ready. We at Microsoft want to make sure you have the information you need to make this transition as easy as possible.
