What if tomorrow never comes?


Mac OS 8's contextual dates function is handy for keeping track of when you created files that are currently in use ù stamping them "Yesterday" or "Today" instead of just a date. But here's something worth trying: open the Date and Time control panel and change the date to tomorrow. Close the control panel and create a file or folder. Then open Date and Time again and move the date back to today. The creation date of your folder should read "Tomorrow"! Quite how the Mac would behave if tomorrow didn't come is unclear and I'm not sure I want to test it.
