(January 1st) as the end of Amiga calendar.
Is this true?

It's actually Jan 19th (at 03:14:08 in the morning, fact fans), that you are thinking of.  This is caused by programs using signed instead of unsigned longs (or the other way round, I forget which).  This isn't the end of the Amiga calendar.  The end of time, as the Amiga knows it, is actually 7th Feb 2114 06:28:15.  I strongly advise you to get your nuclear bunker installed before that time happens.

There is a bit of reading about time limits, the Amiga and NTP on my website and/or in the Facts guide (under Y2K compatibility) - here

The old Amiga White Paper is well worth reading, and (edit) a cached copy is available here
