This morning I downloaded my email and found that more than 90% of the
messages had dates indicating they were sent sometime during the first
two decades of this century, about 80 or 90 years ago. I'd like to think
that I tapped into a time machine and was seeing real corrpespondence
from that era, but wisdom tells me otherwise. I suspect that those of you
on DOS and Windows PC's better take a look at the date function in your
operating system or your chronological files will go to hell in a
handbasket very quickly. Or you can replace that Windows clunker with a
real computer, a Macintosh, which can tell time well into the next
century without so much as a hiccup :-)
