if there is let me know, I have recently run into something strange in every unix based accouniting system and I want to see if anyone else has noticed it.
I don't think small businesses use unix. I use QuickBooks and it has more advanced features than I'll ever need or learn to use.
Quickbooks runs on unix I believe. The issue is have you ever seen any transaction with the date 12-31-1969?
No but I run it on Windows. Maybe they make a unix version too. There are ways to make lots of Windows software run on Linux but I don't know a lot about unix.
Don't have an IT guy. The research I've done says that Unix launched in December of 1969 so the epoch date 12/31/1969 and for some reason transactions are somehow dated with this date under certain circumstances and it's very strange.
Was going to say the date was probably the release date but hasn't the OS been upgraded multiple times since then? Just a guess but it could be that the set of instructions that input the correct date have been corrupted and somehow cross-referenced with some archaic code left over from previous versions. Ask @tirk There's a good chance he might have a better clue.
I noticed my Next Episode app had some similar issues this week. Every episode air date showed a 1969 date. Never seen that before...maybe linked.
Android or Mac? It shouldn't make any difference but that tells me the problem has nothing to do with unix or probably any OS. Very strange
