>because the BIOS won't recognize the date beyond 1999. Changing the date in
the operating system might be okay at every boot up but if you have an
application that reads the date direct from the BIOS, you'll still be out of
luck. If you don't have any date sensitive applications, don't sweat it but if
you don't want to upgrade the hardware (or entire PC), you'll have to learn to
live with changing the date.

They don't call them "A-oles" for nothing.  they werte ALWAYS the BIGGEST
laughing stock of Silicon Valley.  They market well.  That's all.

Try www.yourbrand.com
Try www.37.com
Ask the manufacturer.

Some software for Pentium works on 486.  No matter what, 1) Risk it... 2) 
Backup your stuff BEFORE any install.
This means 1) Your data (letters U want... 2) All settings, register, bios
settings, (config.sys, that stuff.)  Some software like Norton calls it a
"rescue disk"
