But that seems incredibly short sighted of Palm. Especially give all the Y2K issues!
There are still lots of people alive with dates of birth prior to 1904. And lots of legal entities
that started before 1904. Even more so in Europe than in the USA.
Palm was just following the lead of Mac OS, which used a similar date format in the classic OS. Those date calls where always intended to handle current data (like datebook entries) and system objects, and using a smaller size meant more entries could fit into the 128K that shipped on the original Pilot 1000.
