I asked him about it when I replied to his query, feeling a bit cheeky

pointed out! He said that his computer has 'had a nervous breakdown'
and usually thinks it's 1 January 2003! So it sounds as if it originates
at his end and possibly with his server but now it's over to them!
Thanks, Nick.


Sounds as if his computer clock is up the spout.


It's not that simple, nowadays - not that it ever was! Modern
systems are too clever by half, and several components each think
that they own the clock.
