Hello from the past! We have two Explorer II, which we don't used for three weeks (power off). When we booted the machines 24h ago, both said it is 23 March 1959, 1:14am (local time, no time-server effect) and they insist on that. (time:set-local-time ..) changes time only to the next cold-boot. Is there somebody, who can tell me what this means and how I can get rid of this effect? Thanks!!

I've seem behaviour like this once. The problem seemed to be in the band I was running, though I have no idea why. Building a new band made it go away. It's more likely, though, that your battery has gone for the internal clock. I seem to recall that UTs started some time in 1959. Rice. -------
