impermeable to the Y2K bug.....
Why is it that my mac(a mac that apple advertised as being immune to the whole y2k thing) randomly chooses to reset itself to some crazy arbitrary time and date?
something like 1967
or 1903 or 2067 ?
seems like that's the definition of the y2k bug, that computer clocks wouldn't know what time it was.
grrrr.

Like was said above, either the battery in computer is dying, or if I recall there was some reported bug with how the date was displayed on some machines. Anyone care to elaborate?
If you are not using 10.2.6 I would upgrade just so that it may be fixed.

Or if you don't want to download an update that might not work, try Mac OS 9.2.
while you're at it, try os6, sysV or an abacus. (ahem: os9 is dead)

That happens on my dad's account on my cube. We're running 10.2.6, and it only happens on his. There are 4 others who use the computer, and it has never happened to anyone else. My dad doen't mess with stuff like that either, he leaves it to me, and I don't touch it.
