Color Classic - can you set the year beyond 2019?
Posted by: KillerKong on 2024-04-12 07:34:35 Hi guys, I just enabled "show century" in the date control panel on my Color Classic, and noticed the year was set to 1924, not 2024. Trying to set it to 2024 is not possible, it just rolls around to the bottom, the max is 2019. Is it possible to fix this somehow? I've tried both 7.5.3 and 7.6.1.

There is an existing solution, bbraun's free SetDate utility, which is functional, but not a familiar way to set the time on a Mac. macintoshgarden.org

Posted by: KillerKong on 2024-04-12 07:48:06 Thanks guys! I tried googling this but couldn't find anything. I guess because I searched for 2019 instead of 2020 (or "Y2K20", ugh). Now future googlers like me will find this thread and your nice links there. 😉
