And the answer to the 64k er 2k question is...according to the groups
and a few manufacturers, there are a few products that use the date
as provided to them by the Windows date routines under those
preferences. Rare, but they exist. I think that all versions of Windows
up to 98 SE2 came defaulted to 00, SE2 is defaulted to 2000.
