[time-nuts] Trimble Thunderbolt no longer determines the correct date  

I'm late in the discussion. I rebooted my Thunderbolt this morning and it shows a date of 1998 in Thunderbolt Monitor -- and also shows the same incorrect date on my Thunderbolt's LCD display. I purchased the large LCD unit on eBay a few years ago but I no longer recall who supplied it. A photo
