[Cialug] Plain english for Exchange Calender

[Daniel A. Ramaley]

After Googling for "vcalendar dtstart format" and doing a bit of
reading, i am under the impression that the dates are just ISO-8601
basic format (aka, no hyphens).

So that date looks like January 1, 1601 at 02:00 in the morning
(ignoring the time zone offset for now). That seems like an odd date; is
1600 or 1601 the start of the epoch for vcalendar format?
