Hi,

This might seem a strange question:

How to determine the age of a computer ?

It would be cool if a programmer could find out how old a computer is. ( For
example processor age, or motherboard age )

Down to a few seconds :)

It should not be possible for software/users to change the age... it should
be something in the hardware :D

Bye,
  Skybuck.
