To all, I won't send out any more Y2K instructions for computer date adjustments, as Cyndi (Cyndi's list) says the adjustment is not necessary (see her message to me below), and I also checked with our computer club president (who had given us the instructions several months ago) & he says, too, that they've found out that this adjustment to the 4-digit short date is not necessary. The Win 95,98 software is set up to turn over correctly on Jan. 1st, 2000. Thanks, Faith >From Cyndi What I said was this was an "e-mail hoax" meaning that people are perpetuating a false problem via e-mail. The URL I supplied gives the real facts regarding the 4-digit issues and Win95. Again, it is: http://www.microsoft.com/y2k/hoax/y2khoax.htm My husband is an information systems security auditor, dealing with Y2K problems and issues each day in his job. This 4-digit "problem" has been thoroughly studied and is known not to be a problem at all. Cyndi
