Reading your piece on the millennium bug
(This Week, 23 August, p 19) finally
prompted me to try the rollover to 2000 on my now rather ancient 486/33. I was
impressed to see that when I left the PC switched on, it rolled over to 1
January 2000. I then tested it when it was switched off ( which is the most
likely state it will be in when the time comes, if it hasn’t been consigned to
the bin), and it changed to 4 January 1980. This contradicts the aforementioned
article. I shall be leaving my PC on when I go out on that particular New Year’s
Eve.
