the default date for old DOS computers if you didn't set the date or if you had a power failure?

default date for me. And taking of power failure, I think I am in need of another cookie or two.

And talking of computers, these cookies have chips in them too!

And talking of M$ updates - they are not averse to updating and forgetting some choice aspect involving the serious users. Like disabling part of VBA. Answer then was delete this obscure (go-faster) file and it will be re-constructed.
Thanks M$ - now you tell us (actually Stackoverflow did it for you).
