Could be.  Hopefully they'll have fixed that limitation by that date,
though, eh?  That's all I'll need when I'm 60 is to have my damn computer
quit on me because of some artificial BIOS limit :)  I wonder why my
comptuer only does that when I'm here, and not when I leave it alone?  I
guess it gets cranky when I keep it up too late...
