I need a file with a really old date stamp.

Six Sigma data deletion project going on. They give a prize for oldest file deleted. I’ve got access to a bunch of drawings that still have a 1992 date stamp, so give me earlier than that. You also get a prize for deleting the largest file so if it weren’t for lazyness I’d put like a blue ray disc image on my hard drive or something.

check your old floppy disk…hehe

created, accessed or modified?

Do your own work

man you’re bitter lol

lol, I got an OLD OLD hard drive laying around at home. I think it’s like 5 megs and weighs around 10-15 lbs. Not sure on when it was manufactured but it’s probably got some pretty old content on it I’m sure.

although, not sure if a machine is around that can read from it

lol. do you want me to just manipulate a date for you?

lol 1903

or find some sweet non-y2k compliant file that got all screwy

lol the prize is probably only slightly more valuable than a pat on the back so don’t go to any trouble. Although it would be kind of fun to see what they make of a file that predates computers, if not electricity.

They didn’t specify created, accessed, or modified.

Just got an email on it.

As part of the pilot, I will be sending you a brief survey. Please track the amount of time you spend deleting and moving your data separately for both your Y:\ drive and C:\ drive. There will be questions on the survey inquiring about this. Prizes will be awarded for:

Largest file deleted (save a screen capture)
Oldest file deleted (save a screen capture)
Survey returned by due date (random drawing)

*Date and file size will be verified against baseline historical data.

Not sure what that actually means. :shrug:

lol, that sounds like an email that went out to the employees of Enron shorty before their whole fiasco.

Someone will find porn, hilarity will ensue.

lol A “six sigma data deletion project” a coverup? Never. :lol:

Naw this is just what you get when you crosstrain IT and Six Sigma managers. :hang:

:io:

i still have my apple 2E around … im sure there is something on it

and largest what about drive… we have a few here that are 160tb … that would work

if they just want a screenshot from windows, that is probably the modified date.

Does that pull from your windows clock or the bios clock? Cause you might be able to just set your system date back, modify the file, and then set it back.

Or just let someone photoshop the screenshot lol.

the bios clock should work for it

I have an NT4 machine here that has some files from 10/13/1996. I’m sure I have older crap at home somewhere.

unless it’s synced with a server or microsofts time (which I’d guess that it is)

Or if IT has bios access blocked.
