Booted dos to play hexen (beta) which is totally awsome, by the way,
rebooted 2.05, checked my mail, then went to bed around 2 last night.
About 11 this morning I checked my mail again, then ran trn ...
"no unread news" ... says what, says I.

After some investigation, I discover that my system thinks it is the
year 2,000.  The rest of the date and time are still correct.  The
year was correct when I rebooted.  I sent mail that was time stamped
correctly right after I rebooted.  The CMOS time/year is still right.
I cannot determine exactly when this happend.  I have no idea how it
happend.  No big deal, except that half a gig of news spool, even the
stuff that I have a 6 months expire time on, went away, and the sites
I feed will not see half a days worth of news.
