Y2K Issues

I was curious to see what would happen if I set the internal clock of the Aquarius to Jan 1, 2000.  Folks, it doesn't look good.  Take a look at this picture of what happened.

Okay, so there is no internal clock in the Aquarius, so how come there are Y2K issues?  In reality, there is only one problem with the whole Aquarius line which will be experienced after Y2K.  This is a serious problem as it affects perhaps the most widely appreciated piece of software available for our little rubber blue keyed machine.  That program is..........Biorhythms!!  Here is the problem:

There is a work around that will solve most problems with this.  Since Biorhythms is made to chart your good and bad days starting from any 20th Century date you enter and then allows you to scroll through your future for infinity, here is what you do.  Let's assume today is Jan 1, 2000.  You really want to use the power of your Aquarius computer to see how your 1st week in the new millenium is going to go for you.  (heck, who wouldn't?)  All you have to do is enter Dec 31, 1999 when prompted for today's date and then scroll forward to the present and continue on to the future.  The only people who won't benefit from this work-around are those born AFTER Dec 31, 1999.  Because even the prompt to enter your birthday is assumed to be in the 20th century.  I can't believe Mattel would do this!?!?  Didn't they think people would be depending on this unique software to plan their lives (I know you do too! ;-)?  

Just remember!  It's "for entertainment purposes only!"
