I've been hearing for some time that the calendar program in Windows 3.1 
didn't recognize 29 February 2000.  I just checked it out on my old 386 
laptop, which still runs Windows 3.1, and found that this is not true, the 
Windows calendar knows that 2000 is a leap year.

Last night, I took my 386 to a New Years Eve party and turned it on at 
about 11:50 PM.  Since I had installed the software patch to compensate 
for the BIOS Y2K defect, it rolled over the date flawlessly.
