I am not sure if this counts as a bug. If I try to enter dates before
1970 in the prompt it defaults to the current year. I assume that this
is to do with Unix dates starting in 1970. The reason for doing this is
to enter some birth dates in org using the prompt.
Ian.

Hi Ian,
I use the following entries for birthdays and they work great for me.
