Oh! If you unplug my five-year-old Dell laptop, plug it back in and turn it back on, the date will say 2001 or something. So, um, in that case, Computer is WRONG! :D I suspect it will officially die at some point here. I'm actually kind of surprised it has lasted this long. What's the expiration date on laptops?

That's your Dell at home, right? i hope the computers at work do not give incorrect dates. In fact, i'm pretty sure that the dayaskers at work have computers that reliably give the correct date.

Yes, it's my home computer. I primarily use it for Sims, but having to correct the date and time is kind of a pain, so I keep it plugged in when I can.

Kristi's old work computer used to do the same thing, only I think the default date would be like 1901 or something. Thank gawd she got a fancy new one; changing the date/time every morning when you get to work would get annoying.

And get off my lawn! :-/
