[NTLK] Did I miss the memo? Trying things out.

[Eckhart Köppen]

Looks like a clean overflow, the difference is awfully close to 1073741823 seconds which is 0x40000000 in hex. That’s 30 bits, exactly what a NewtonScript integer can handle. If we’re lucky, this is again “just" a NewtonScript related issue. The NewtonOS problems start in 2040 :)

I went to set the date which IN THE SETUP said January 6, 2025.  Set the time, which was wrong however, and then it set to December 28, 1990.
