That's normal. As Allen said, Jan. 11904 is "date 0" on a Mac. The "end of
time" when it runs out of numbers (seconds) is sometime on Feb. 6, 2040. So
Feb. a few time zones earlier than 1/1/1904 is "minus time" equivalent to
just before it starts over from 0 again. (Don't worry, the Mac can do "long
time" stretching millions years into the future, and will be taught to
convert its short time smoothly the time we really need it to.)
