Why?
Why 1969, I mean?
What exactly caused this particular date to appear (and on more than one website, as I noted in my previous post)?

I know it's a computing glitch, but cannot figure how it works.






Dig into the history of computers and operating systems.

On Jan 1, 1970, UNIX officially was "born". That made the day before that "zero".

A bit of computer trivia.
