computer buffs: Isn't there some danger doing this in case programs get
screwed up? There's a DOS-based testing program called YMARK 200 that's free
and can do it more safely than messing around with your clock in this way.

 If you are still worried about Y2K, do the empirical test. Set
 your computer's date and time to 1999.12.31 23:59, wait one
 minute and crank up your program. Load a file and save a copy of
 it. When you quit you will know what if anything happens. *In
 other words,* computers can't tell time. You can make the
 pseudo-millennium any time you want.
