This AppleScript takes your nice leather iCal one thousand years into the future, and then back to today. Naturally it only works with MacOS 10.7.x Lion. I hope you didn’t “upgrade” to some later version.
Copy and paste the following code into the AppleScript editor and click “run”, or download the AppleScript file 1000years.scpt and double click the file icon.
