That's weird... You should have a computer which has a Y2K compatible
BIOS. I'm showing that you're using Eudora Light for Windows, so you
probably have '95 or '98. You should be able to change the Windows
Date/Time to the right date.

If you're having a problem with it, let me know by email, I might be
able to help. I'm a computer tech by day.

The 1980 BIOS thing isn't a Y2K problem, it just happens whenever the
BIOS settings are lost, and the BIOS is reset. You're usually able to
change the date to the current date, and everything is fine, unless
your BIOS battery is dying.
