Here's an alternate suggestion: just buy a Macintosh Power PC instead of a WinTel PC. Then you won't need to worry about any of this Y2K nonsense affecting your computer. :-) Bill Vincent WmRVincent@aol.com In a message dated 8/9/99, SANDIDGE-D-request@rootsweb.com writes: <<Now that the year 2000 is getting closer remember to change the date on your PC to a 4-digit (go to controlpanel of windows and change the International or Regional date to 4-digit instead of 2). Date/Time also to 4-digit date. To check whether you have it correct use explorer (file manager) and look at your file dates (if dates are not showing choose option to see full details). Should now show as 4-digit. You can do this today and then forget about it. Reason this works is that 2-digit writes to harddrive as 00 and computer doesn't recognize it as a year (but a null) while it does recognize 2000. Have a wonderful coming year!!! Judy M.>>
