Torstein,

I have three hours to go to Y2K and I will probably turn my PC clock back a
year.  I turned the clock back to `1996'  on some of my old PCs and when I tried
to access my old "1997" Juno internet program it told me that my computer was
not properly configured.  I set that PC to '1998' and so far no problems.  On my
new machines I have decided to avoid having the computer on  on 1/1/2000 because
of virus fears.

Happy New Year and Millennium(whatever that is)

Tim Frohlick
