Why bigger year is not chosen for start, for example- 1950, 1970...?

Funny you should mention 1970. There are several different date formats that the PalmOS uses in various places. One of them does indeed start at 1/1/1970 (this is a Unix thing, IIRC, unlike 1/1/1904 which was a Mac thing).

Way back when, Palm development was done on Macs rather than PCs, hence the odd Mac-ish thing creeping in.


Cheers,
