I just noticed a couple days ago that the clock in my 2000 is hosed.
It thought it was June 1978. I reset it, and then it seemed to be
ok, (i.e. it keeps time), but then when I turned back on again a couple
days later, it's 1978 again.

I assume that it's a simple case of a dead battery, but I wanted to make sure
that something else isn't causing it.  I'm kind of surprised that the battery
would die so soon; I've only had my machine for a year and a half.
(Of course, there's no telling how long it was sitting around with that
battery being drained before I got it, right?)

Thanks,
	Vic

All my life I've wanted to be somebody. Now I realize I should have been more
specific.
