Subject: Limits of Time

Hello,

We are making a website to handle all of our family pictures.  The earliest
picture I found was 1850, so the code was

Time.mktime(1850)

and it said

ArgumentError: time out of range

So I tested it, and 1902 works but 1901 doesn't.  Why on earth?  Chris said
I should ask you.  We need to enter pictures that are really old; is there a
class we could use that is not so restrictive?
