+Robert, run my example code _under MS.NET_ and you will find that it
+is culture dependent (many culture fails to parse that string). 
+
+One more thing, it is undocumented feature that MS's invariant culture
+can parse "6/28/2004 12:00:00 AM". At least, that DateTime pattern
+never appears in DateTimeFormat.GetAllDateTimePatterns():
+
+foreach (string s in
+CultureInfo.InvariantCulture.DateTimeFormat.GetAllDateTimePatterns ())
+	Console.WriteLine (s);
+
+Ian, you should create call ToString() with InvariantCulture. In my
+box it never creates "1/1/1980 12:00:00 AM". With InvariantCulture, it
+creats "01/01/1980 00:00:00" that can be parsed fine with mono.
