Get the right year entered in your appointments

If you enter the month and day only in any date field, the Palmtop automatically fills in the year for you. This can save you time, if the Palmtop puts in the correct year. Here are the rules the Palmtop follows, as far as I can figure them out:

• If the mm/dd is the current date or greater, through the end of the year (12/31), then the Palmtop fills in the current year
• If the mm/dd is less than the current date, but greater than the beginning of the year (1/1), then the Palmtop fills in the next year.
• If you manually enter a year, pressing 80 through 99 will enter the years 1980 through 1999 respectively.
• If you manually enter a year, entering a number less than 80 will give you year dates in the 2000s (i.e., 2079, 2078, etc.)
• To enter a year before 1980 you must use the four digit year.
