Re: Paul Musselman trapped in 1969

David, Pete, Don, et al:

It's pretty bad when people complain about -when- I sent Email.  Just wait
'till January, when mail starts popping up dated Jan 1, 1972, as people
whose systems aren't Y2K compliant window backwards to a compatible year!
(;

Nevertheless,

                BE IT HEREBYE KNOWNE TO ONE AND ALL:

On This Date, Saturday, the Sixth of November, in the year Nineteen Hundred
Ninety-Nine

                        Paul  E  Musselman

Did Totally Disassemble His Apple Macintosh 8100/100 Computer, yea, even to
unplugging all of the cables, wires, and other external brick-a-brack;
further, to removing the cables from the Mother Board, and the Mother Board
from said computer, being the only method by which access to the
&@^&(!%(*^! Clock Battery may be obtained (unlike the latest
munitions-grade computers from the same company, which unfold gracefully,
exposing their guts to one and all).

Further, he did then remove said  &@^&(!%(*^! Clock Battery from its socket
(a socket being the indication of a computer company that expects its
computers to outlive the battery), and didst hie himself to the Radio
Shacke at Ye Local Malle, at which toy repository he didst obtain a *new*
clock battery, identical with the old in appearance, but being of a much
more recent Date Of Manufacture.

He didst then ogle the sights one may see at such a Malle, including the
wierd things (and wierder merchandise) at Spencer Gifts.

Realising that Red Green didst await, he sallied forth and returned to his
domicile, where he didst re-assemble his Apple Macintosh 8100/100 Computer,
beginning by placing the new battery into its holder, and continuing
through the re-assembly of the Mother Board, its cables, the cabinet, the
external brick-a-brack, wires, and cables, until said Computer was once
more in a usable condition.

Whereupon  PAUL  E  MUSSELMAN  did re-boot his computer, and did set the
date to Today's Date, Saturday, the Sixth of November, in the year Nineteen
Hundred Ninety-Nine.

Which should remedy the problem of dates being unacceptable to
less-than-optimum computer software.  If the problem should continue, that
is life, and  PAUL  E  MUSSELMAN  will adjust the date of his computer when
he remembers to.

Something Has Been Done.

Tongue Firmly Inside His Mouth,

--Paul E Musselman
