The Aero will not change automatically date from Dec. 31, 1999 to 
Jan. 01, 2000. We shall have to do so manually.

Anyway, this is the only task we shall need to do. From then on, the
BIOS shall be able to detect all the future changes in leap years and
all date functions considered critical.

You might want to check this by yourself going to http://www.nstl.org
and downloading a tiny free software, named Y2000.exe

I got this reference from www.compaq.com index page, where there is also
a reference to Year 2000 compliance.
