No I think it was a combination of just too much downloading up to the time Iopened your message, BUt it scared me as I have in the past opened up a filesome stranger sent me and it ate part of my HD before I could hit to offbutton.My system was OK when I booted it back up. Someone else sent me a message aboutmy comment and said sounded like the Y2K problem some are worried about. Ithink I am going to set mine for Dec 31st 1999 some day and see if it comes onthe next morning at what date and time. Be interesting but we are running newermachines not the old Honeywell DPS 6/45 and 6/75 and older systems like when Iwas working as a computer Spec for the govt.ThanksGordon"D.J.H." wrote:> Tnx.about the date on my pc.
