But!!! Apple explicitly and directly states that:"The current Mac OS date and time utilities handle all dates between 30,081 B.C. and 29,940 A.D." If that statement is NOT true then it is MISLEADING and DECEPTIVE!!! There is no purpose to making such a statement other than: "See how good Apple is and how far technically advanced it is". IMHO IT STINKS that Apple should make such a statement in the hope that no one will check up on it. It is SPINDOCTORING in the worst possible way.
In fact, apple’s date and time routines do handle dates and times in the ranges that they list. They are not spin doctoring. However, they have also maintained for backwards compatibility the older API structures that are limited to 2040.
