Actually, now that I think about it I've got this directory: 06/27/1998 07:53p WIN3 Which I know I didn't create in 1998 so parts of this install date back to my DOS days as well.

I learned about backups a long time ago, that's how I keep the same setup (it's not like I haven't messed up my system in that time).
