I have a number of files dated 1980-01-01 (copied from 5 1/4 floppies),
but those that I have been able to verify are really newer. I suspect
that these fake dates were caused by some bug or incompatibility before
or during the copy. I also have a number of files dated '1979-12-31
23:xx', maybe caused by the same bug but with DST changed.
The oldest file created by me that I have been able to find is this one
(a schematic diagram made with Orcad):
