somehow my pc date became year 5910

[Jack B]

Ok, somehow my pc date/time became year 5910 -- how did that happen?

Now, after resetting, I see just a few posts other than mine, although the
blue number in parenthesis is (4100) -- that is, the number next to the news
group.

Probably all of the old messages were marked as "read" when OE thought
that they were 3900 years old.

It just occurred to me that perhaps my MOBO battery is starting to fail.

Maybe the inner battery is weakening?

You should reset the whole newsgroup, I guess.

How do you reset the whole newsgroup?

My XP is a bit rusty, but try "tools/maintenance/clean-up." Under clean-up
you have have a tab to reset the group.

I'm using OE as my newsreader and I can reset a newsgroup with the
following:

Right-click the newsgroup name and select Properties.
Select the tab named Local File.
Click the RESET button.

So...what's the future like? The national debt must be about
999,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
by then.

Ok, thanks.

Really embarrassing that I have a post dated 5910 -- wish there was a way
to get rid of it.

In 5910 that sum will be minuscule and besides ... the world will end in
2012 so who cares what the US will owe to China by 5910. Mwaaahaaahaaa.
