Well, today is March 2, 1990, and I find that my ADDS Viewpoint 2020 terminal
insists that is a Saturday.  It's wrong.  I wish it WAS a Saturday.  ;-)

Playing around with the terminal, I find that the displayed day of the week
is most likely going to be wrong for the next 9 months, till 1991 rolls
around.  Yesterday it was fine; today it's whacko.  If I set the date to
anything before today, the problem goes away.

What's the scoop, gang?  Anyone else experiencing this?  Is it a bug in the
date display code in the internal ROMs?
