I put in the date for the Newton 130.. same thing.

Anyone try the Newton 120 or a non-upgraded 2000?  Curious if they act 
different.


Tests for putting in January 6, 2025.. 10:00 am on my Newton 2000 (upgraded)

January 6, 1960 = Random dates from 1991-1994


January 6, 2025 = December 28, 1990 10:00 am (9 days)

January 6, 2060 = December 19, 1991 10:00 am (9 days)

January 6, 2094 = December 10, 1991 10:00 am (9 days)

January 6, 2128 = December 1, 1991 10:00 am (9 days)

January 6, 2162 = November 22, 1991 10:00 am (9 days)

January 6, 2196 = November 13, 1991 10:00 am
