It's probably just a coincidence, but the following series of events
occurred a couple of days ago (Thursday, I think):

	1. I read news.
	2. I downloaded, uncompressed, etc. a game "Frac" posted a couple
		of days ago -- a 3d "Tetris".
	3. Played game several times (and scored miserably).
	4. Used computer yesterday without problems.
	5. Used computer today without problems.
	6. Until I noticed that my AT's system clock had been changed to
		01-01-1980 -- the same date that the copy of "Frac" has on
		my hard-disk.  This may just be because the date was somehow
		reset BEFORE I downloaded Frac (plausible), or because
		Frac plays with the CMOS.
	
Did anyone else who downloaded frac experience this problem?
Please say no!!
