This is a followup to Neal McBurnett's followup to...
Anyway, the year 4000 should be leap year - the rule is years
divisible by 4 are leap - but century years are not - except
century years whose first two digits are divisible by 4. Apologies
to the masses of other people who probably made this point too, and
the even larger masses of people who have to read this. I  LIKE  my
HP 48SX and object to unfair criticism!!
As for automatic accuracy adjustments to TIME and DATE, there is a
utility to do that - included on the floppy disk you get if you buy an
I/O kit instead of just the cable. My favourite is still the HP-41
on this one, since it had functions to set the correction, but was
smaller than the HP-71B and did not have the time bugs of the 71.
