[ale] Y2K RTC fix for Linux

[bob at cavu.com (Bob)]

I have available for download a program that fixes the century byte in
the Real Time (CMOS) clock of a PC running Linux for older PCs that do
not correctly update this byte when the year rolls from 99 to 00.  This
is the evil hardware bug that so many have bought new computers for.

This fix only needs to be done once (unless you subsequently change the
year back before 2000):

Do forward this email to anyone who might be interested.

Failure is not an option!
It comes bundled with all Microsoft products (in my opinion).
