Can anyone here explain why my old 330 running on windows 95 thought it was Jan. 4, 1980 for two days, and now suddenly without my having done a darn thing, it knows it is Jan 2, 2000? I only use this unit for web surfing, so it can think whatever it wants about the date. I am just very curious.

Sometimes, rebooting such a machine will be sufficient to get it to recognize the correct date. Still, you would have been better off with a Mac
