Please, let's not forget that Entourage is *MORE* than just an e-mail
program, and that it also includes a calendar and tasks list - hence dates
into the future are VERY MUCH relevant, even if they are past 2040.

While it certainly is rare, I *DO* have dates, events and appointments
programmed into my Newton that go beyond 2040, and with Newtourage, I expect
them to be properly synched up.

At least I hope so.
