> Maybe someone wants to heal the clock's y2k issue:

Here's some changes (in my bwdiff format).

File: aled.exe
002026: E9 C5 00        [ 1E B8 94 ]    # remove closing screen message
00627C: 30              [ 94 ]          # fix year in clock
00628E: F9              [ FA ]          # day/
006294: FA              [ F9 ]          #     month in clock

For applying manually it's (all in hex):

offset: <new bytes> [ <original bytes> ]

The year fix is simple, it will break again if for some reason you go back to 19xx.
