I have an Excel spreadsheet with rainfall records dating back to the 1860s. It turns out Excel does not accept dates before January 1, 1900 as valid, while dates far, far into the future (up to December 31, 9999) are perfectly ok. Nobody thought someone might want to enter a date before 1900? It's just bizarre.
