It only goes to 2038. Seeing as I am dealing with programs that have to calculate 20-30 years ahead I have had to revert to datetime() The UNIX Timestamp also has one other floor.

I recently did a site that required a timeline. This timeline had MANY dates before 1970 - so therefore a different format HAD to be used. Though i think its good to do things on the MySQL end, I tend to do the majority of it through the programming to keep my queries and formatting separately.
