I picked 01-01-80 because that’s the date that used to come up by default on the old IBM PC XT systems without a battery backup clock inside. You had to set the time and date everytime you booted up or if you ignored it, the date would be 01-01-1980.........
Oh I remember very well. I have been in IT since, well about 01-01-80...
I think Keyes start to run for president a week later...
