@Karen:  Actually NT counts time by 100 nanoseconds, it just tells you in milliseconds.  Unix counts time in seconds.

Huh, that's odd.  Most programs revert to January 1st, 1970 rather than the day before.  It has to do with where calenders start on computers--that's the earliest date your computer can work with.

Oh? The clock on my machine claims to be able to go as far back as 1930. Clearly I win.

I don't know, because Steam once did a hardware analysis of my computer and came up with a windows install date of Dec 31 1969 too.

I had got ad-aware from a promo not too long ago, but anyway i was just examinating the main/home page of the program and noticed the date of the "last event" and was quite shocked and confused....maybe you'll get the same reactionLaugh:
