The *OS* can handle dates past 2040, the 'Date & Time' control panel stops
at that date. I'm sure by 2040 Apple will have released an update to that
control panel.

The underlying OS and hardware can handle dates to 29,940 AD, and so can any
application that uses the Macintosh Date & Time function calls. Why a
particular MS apps doesn't, while not exceptionally surprising, certainly
still is puzzling. Why reinvent the wheel?
