Whether or not your PC can handle Y2K has less to do with your
     hardware than with your firmware. If you have or can obtain a newer
     BIOS for your PC you should be OK. Most Pentium systems I have seen
     have a flash BIOS, so if you can get a upgrade file from the PC vendor
     your machine should be able to be made Y2K compliant. If you don't
     have a flash, you may be able to get a newer EPROM from the
     manufacturer, or from MR BIOS (http://www.mrbios.com).

     I know you said your PC is OK with Y2K, but this is for those out
     there who are less fortunate.

        Hi to you all,


        Excuse me, I know this doesn't have relation with the PIC's stuff but I
think that somebody can help out.

        In Windows 95 I change the date to the year 2000 and the calendar can
work
with it.


        I have a new Machine:  IBM Aptiva D91 with Pentium 200MMX.

        So That means that Intel solve the "problem with the year 2000" ?


        Thanks for your time.
