It is simpler to use:
=([time stamp cell address]/86400)+25569
and then format cell(s) with CUSTOM yyyy/mm/dd hh:mm:ss
The "86400" = seconds in a day.
The "25569" = number of days from Xcell's 1900 (day one) to unix 1970 (day zero or one?)
A1: the timestamp number
B1: =integer(A1/86400)+25569
C1: =mod(A1,86400)/86400
Rightclick on B1, choose date format
Rightclick on C1, choose time format
Voila.
It's a technicality, but also a fair point.

Well the problem has already arisen at PCs which use times in the future, its called the Y2K38 bug as an allusion to what you mentioned, what may be possible is that they implement integers of 64 bits which will do the work very nicely, it will still have another limit but it will be far after we die xD
But the rest remains the same. 64-bit system is the solution.
thanks
