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.
earlier posting:<
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.
