If they typed in their age you would already
know how old they were.

When you say BIOS(cmos) dat do you mean the
RTC (real time clock)?

If you want the current time/date it would
be easier to read the system clock. Almost
every programming language has a method of
reading the system clock.

I think you want the person to enter their
birthday.
