I had this happen today because Sunday was February 29 My notebook
was still stuck on Feb 28 and so was my mobile phone.....

Come midnight and the phone reset itself to January 1 2001. As
for the notebook it thought it was 1997 when the clock changed
to midnight.

Anyone else have this happen as well?

Not to me, but I remember hearing a rumour that it had something to do with
the millenium bug, something about leap years...??
