Back to the Past?

Just in the last 24hrs, my iBook has shut down suddenly five or six times. When I turn it on again, the date and time have changed to 10am January 1, 1970.

Anyone else experiencing this? And if so, any solutions?

thats the Unix Epoch time!

was Mac OS are you running? i think there was an update ages ago to address this. make sure your iBook is running the latest software by running Software Update.

Thanks - I have OS X 10.4.11, which I think is as current as I can get. I did read about the whole Linux start date thing.
