1999 in that video. How is UniPlus able to specify a system date later than 1995? What happens if you set the date to 2000/01/01? :-)

Do you think you might ever be able to share your ProFile image? Maybe if you delete the personal items...

We can out deserialisation and swap configuration issues :-)
