I'm sure having your computer know the birth date of Elvis was useful and novel 30 years ago, but today such a trivia list is just a bitrotting museum piece that will get more and more out of date. IMO. Instead of adding every musician, let's just nuke all the files except calendar.openbsd and calendar.computer. They still seem relevant to an operating system and to make sure there's always some examples to play with. ...again, IM (not so humble) O.

Matthew J. C. Clarke writes: 01/08 Elvis Presley born in East Tupelo, Mississippi, 1935 This caught my eye, being from Mississippi myself. As far as I know or can tell from searching online, there's no such place as "East Tupelo". This should be just "Tupelo" (my preference) or "east Tupelo" (the Elvis Presley Birthplace Museum does appear to be on the eastern side of Tupelo).
