Yes, you can view dates after 2010, but do not, under any circumstances,
create a meeting or calendar event in 2010 or beyond, unless you have the
hack installed, or you backed up before doing it.

Unfortunately, I don't remember if just having the calendar date causes the
freeze, or opening the Dates app, or trying to view the item, but in any
case, you will end up massively locking up your Newton, forcing a brain
wipe, unless you have Avi's hack installed, and even then, I sometimes
wonder if it's safe. I never tried inserting a calendar item after
installing the hack. I just did it just in case I made a mistake, or lost my
mind again. It wasn't pretty. That's the one main thing I remember from my
experiment. (130?)
