What is important is the BIOS-date! There can not be given a date after which the BIOS is always Y2K-compatible. The reason is that the big BIOS-manufacturers didn't start making "Y2K"-BIOS's all at the same time. Also the computerfirms started putting "Y2K"-BIOS's in their computers at different dates. Even different types of the same firm can differ! At the (service-)homepage of the big computerfirms you can go to the Y2K-page were often is a detailed list of types and serialnumbers of their PC's. Have you found yours, then they give you the solution (if there is one) to the problem for that specific PC. Or they tell you there is no problem!!!! My advice is: first do the tests. If they all fail: go to the homepage of the manufacturer. <<<< Had any Dutch Treats lately? >>>> No, in fact I had the opposite last night. My mother-in-law invited the whole family for dinner in a chinese restaurant. WE ate and SHE payed!! Hans.
