The Apple Event Manager represents dates as typeLongDateTime, which
is a signed 64-bit integer representing the number of seconds since
the classic Mac epoch (1 Jan 1904).
Is that UTC or unspecified-time-zone? That is, at noon Eastern tomorrow, will AEMs across the world have a time of
212,023,627,200, or will it be 212,023,612,800 here on the east coast, 212,023,602,000 in California, etc?
At least with a 64-bit second count you don't have to worry about rolling over - you can store dates for almost 300 billion years on either side of the epoch.
