i have noticed that many groups have a start date of 12/31/1969. is this some glitch in the sites software? it is difficult to have an internet forum group 20+ years before al gore invented the internet and 30+ years before the forum's site was even created.
i happen to find this amusing.

Oct 22, 2009It has more to do with the way Unix systems keep time, and the creator having been deleted.
That happens to be the date of "time zero" for most Unix clocks, since they keep time in seconds since then.ReagirResponder - JAjaydogAutor originalOct 23, 2009

The famous ( or infamous ) trash-eighty did much to advance the eventuality of the PC for general use. Things have changed some since then.
UNIX is no longer an operating system per 'se. Novell sold it to the Unix Consortium some time ago. UNIX is now a specification that several OS ( including some that run on Linux ) do meet, so can correctly be called UNIX today.ReagirResponder
