Old computer
I was showing a customer how to check when the computer was last defragged. I had defragged it a month ago, so I was expecting a message like "You last defragented this drive 28 day(s) ago".
Nope.
It said the drive was last defragmented 7574 days ago. I figure that was in April, twenty years ago. She (jokingly) said that she didn't know that Gateway built Pentium class machines back then.
I like it when customers have a sense of humor. I had a lady complain the other day because some of the dates on her software were "too old."

Yup! I have seen the same type of info on scandisk and defrag as well, although the time/days were different from yours. I have no idea what causes it.
Dang Winduhs!

That's how gateway is making their money. They're selling 20 year old machines. In the year 2021 you can pick up on of these machines for pennies. Add to that the fact that you can send it back through time for only a few more pennies and you can understand the huge profits that gateway is making. There are a couple downsides to this though. In our time, the computers all know that they're 20 years older than they appear to be even though their filedates are not effected. This makes them extremely confused and they have a high tendency to blue screen.
This is also a huge problem for computers in the third millenium due to the fact that the few computers who survived the computer scalping of 2020 only have themselves for company while, on the other hand, those who were sent back in time, and eventually caught up with themselves, evolved into clusters and are comforted by the fact that they have each other. The non-cluster computers however, rarely have any serious fun. They are often found alone in huge racks continually looping and looping over gifs of clusters.

Not sure what causes that. I had a customer who's battery went out. He ran it like that for three months. Three monts of "Time Date Error" and "System Options Not Set" I would go Nuts! Not to mention WINDOW$ whining! Yikes. https://forums.windrivers.com/
