I'm not sure if anybody else out there has been plagued with this issue, but many people with Dual Processor Macs have had an extra feature in their OS X - time travel.

For many of us, when our DPs would startup, the date/time settings would be set at midnight Jan. 1, 1970 GMT. You had to manually set the clock back, or for some strange reason, put computer to sleep. Then on awake, it would have the correct time.

There are 250+ postings about this on Apple's discussion boards:

While not a huge bug, it was certainly a pain in the @ss, emails would be sent out from 1969 and appear at the bottom of people's inboxes, or like in my case, I've had Graphic Converter's trial installed for roughly 11450 days!

So, I am happy to report that the update to 10.1.3 has fixed the bug. It's posted in this knowledge base article:

Halle-freakin'-lujah!!!

Now if they could just fix the OpenGL bug that causes my pointer to act strangely weird... More on this, including videos of the problem, at:
