It's never a good idea to as for help without detail. What exactly
do you mean by "depart from January 1, 1970"?
Most such problems, if they're "clock wrong at boot", are fixed by
putting a new battery on the motherboard. Do you mean something
else? (For example, your Date header looks like "Sat, 26 Feb 2000
14:09:13 +0100", which certainly looks fine.)
January 1, 1970, is the Unix zero of time. Can you boot into MacOS?
Does the clock there show Jan 1 1904?
