Yahoo Y2K news got the date wrong 1/8/98

Well, I better crawl back in the bunker ;)

Voynik, that is probably not a glitch. Lots of folks rolled their computers back to avoid the Y2K problems associated with rollover. I am operating on 1999 myself and several companies chose pre-2000 dates. Now a 19100 date is a glitch as is a 1900. Keep looking. I've gotten a few of those too.

Just a funny thing about setting the clock back - ours in one computer in the genealogy library I work in, was set to 1980....until we found out that we could not input any data on people who had died since then. Just told us that was not an option....and we specialise in dead people. I guess now we are running on 1999 on the 486.
