The more recent versions can deal with even much later dates! There is however a limitation: the Date and Time control panel of the MAC can only deal with dates between 01/01/1920 and 12/31/2019. At the time this function was added for compability with the MacIntosh 6 general control panel. This can be adjusted by using the MacIntosh-toolbox Call SetDateTime. Conclusion: no problem will occur until 2019. By that time you probably will have bought a new MAC!! Hans. P.S.: Your mail comes in registered at "+1600". That suggests there is a time-difference between your home and Greenwich Mean Time of 16 hours. However the time-difference can be no more than 12 hours. How do you do that??
