How old are your oldest files on your computer?

I just discovered that the oldest files on my computer are some background images that I downloaded in August of 2004. I rediscovered them a few years ago, when I bought a portable floppy drive to check my old floppy disks for important data.

yea, it's crazy that i still have these drives from middle school, but yea i still got em. every once in a while i pull them out for nostalgia. i got computers in my basement from the 90s. compaq, gateway, etc. they're almost entirely useless, save for living in a post apocalyptic society.

I consequently clear out my mac at least once a year, preferbly twice a year. And do a completely fresh installation, with new encryption keys every time. So my files locally on the PC is never more than 1 year old. If i do need to save anything its in OneDrive.
