"01/01/1969" is a date = true on Mac but not on Windows?

[Bob Sneidar]

Methinks someone at Runrev Limited should consider this method in lieu  
of their present method for determining ANYTHING about dates.  
Spreadsheets use Julian dates behind the scenes precisely because you  
cannot always depend on an OS to give you consistent results for date  
calculations.
