Nothing unexpected - Y2K problem is not the problem of 2000 year (90% of
the cry about Y2K readyness and so on are only a good way to pick up more
money) - the real problem for the real-time devices will bŐ the scale
limits of the internal _real-time_ counters which count everywhere except
the year 2000; this is the nearest example of such overloading.
Through I did not see anything to worry about - your GPC may be show you
the wrong date, but why it can affect the accuracy at all (except some
short time around the very moment itself).
