Both yes and no ;)
Actually, the Newton can go beyond 2010. However, some function is
stupidly limited to 2010. Avi wrote a patch, Woody gave you the URL.
We've got time to think about it. Your Newton won't cease to boot.
All your alarms will continue to work. Most software will not be
affected.
Plus 2010 doesn't sound like a millenium, so there's no need to link
this with millenium beliefs like some ET civilization will come, this
would be end of the world or anything that made the Y2K bug be what
it was.
