My old Pentium, when tested, would revert to 1980 so I got a new one that worked right. Been noticing a lot of wrong year dates on the lists I'm on and even on newsgroups. Doesn't hurt anything unless you're real interested in having the correct date on everything you do. UseNet likes to see the correct time and date because a lot of it is archived by date/time. George
