Yes... No... Maybe... Gosh... I just can't tell anymore. Dates and Times on ALL my NOS v2.O Newtons have gone wonky. I'm still able to get my emails, wirelessly . I think I'm also able to reach out from my 2100... are you receiving? Test... test... (arrgh!)

Yes, my MP 120 v2.0 starting acting up last year. Setting its date to any date in 2009 or beyond causes a continuous rebooting. It does, however, like the date November 1, 1995.

Yes, my MP 130 has a Y2010 Bug. Trying to set my 130's date and time is like playing lawn darts in the dark. It jumps to December 29, 1975... then the clock will not launch, then "Bling" welcome to November 1, 1995.

Yes, my 2100 and my eMate 300 also like some other day, in a previous life. New Years day, 2008, 4:00am Pacific Standard Time to be precise. I seem to be trying to convince my 2100 to grow up. Reseting the date/time is easily done with TimeDate Set after any restarts. At least it's working more reliably than my 120 and 130.

Patched or unpatched, get ready all you lista's... 2010 will be the year of the, "What's happening to my Newton?" question. 

Bummer...
