On a real Newton (both 2100s, both English), if I remove all power and wait
long enough, reverts to a 2008 date and boots normally. Then I am able to
the date normally. (one actually reverted to a 1997 date, so I must not
have the 2010 patch on that model)

Setting a 2025 date freezes the Newton (although it will still draw pen
input on the screen, in weird state!), and rebooting from there will result
in the hang during boot.

Yes, I left Lady Newton unpowered for a longer time after my first post and
got the same result:  2008 January 1, 12:00.

The only difference I see is that when it freezes after I set it for 2025,
the screen is unresponsive to pen input.  Otherwise, my Newton is the
same.




Shalom,


Christian
