|Ok, so my computer thinks it's 1AD,
1900 actually.
One small problem with old BIOSes is the datestamp on files however.
Sometimes, the computer will look for the most recent file to use,
(especially if you're using a C compiler or something like that), and when
the date clocks over, all your new files will suddenly appear to be 100
years old...
:)
Not a problem for me. I deliberately speeded up my system clock once, just
to see how far it'd go before resetting, and I believe the date was
somewhere about 2036(ish). Then it reset to 1972.
