Oh really!  Okay ... I will attempt the following ... here we go.

 I go into BASIC
 I enter DATE$="12/31/99" and hit <enter>
 I enter TIME$="23:59:50" and hit <enter>
 I hit <f8> to return to the menu
 ...I wait

Wow!  Sure enough!  Just as I thought, and as happened the last time I tried
it.  You are "WRONG!!!"  A dismal failuer ... a complete dunce ... sound the
horn ... battle stations ... get the hook ... there's an idiot on the loose ...
ahhhhhhhhhh......!!! (grin)

The time ticks up to 59, goes to 00, and the date changes to Jan 01, 1900.

So I attempt to set the date to 01/01/20 and it comes back Jan 01, 1920.

So. I attempt to set the date to 01/01/2000 and it gives me a ?SN Error.

So, I go to the kitchen, open the fridge, take out a Dr. Pepper, pull the
ring-top, slam it down ... YES!!  That works!!
