Any PCs purchased before 1/1/98 must test for Year2000 Bug !

Do you know that the Year2000 compliance CMOS chips were only
manufactured in 
late 1997 and some of the PC*s sold nowadays still use non-Year2000
compliance chips?!

Please visit the following site for a free test program.

Such nonsense!! Just set your date to 2000 and see what'll happen. Of
course  if it's an IBM PC Convertible or similar legacy stuff than maybe 
a prob. However the cost of the software he's selling is more than the
value of the old machines. If you want to really test for the y2k than
there are tons of free software floating around.
