And if wants to select a really old date he will have a nightmare selecting the year... Its just not nearly as fast as just typing it."},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/callemall/material-ui/issues/comments/212955665","html_url":"https://github.com/callemall/material-ui/issues/3933#issuecomment-212955665","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/callemall/material-ui/issues/3933","id":212955665,"user":{"login":"nathanmarks","id":4420103,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/4420103?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/nathanmarks","html_url":"https://github.com/nathanmarks","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nathanmarks/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nathanmarks/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nathanmarks/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nathanmarks/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nathanmarks/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nathanmarks/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nathanmarks/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nathanmarks/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/nathanmarks/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2016-04-21T14:49:53Z","updated_at":"2016-04-21T14:49:53Z","body":"@mbrookes If that's the case, that sounds like the best option for specific use cases such as this."}}
