What's the oldest database on your server?

So I was looking at databases today and just glanced at the creation dates. I was shocked at the age of one of the mail files on my server. Now we've been using Notes since 1994, but I never expected to see this. It's a database that I've used since I took control of the environment in 2003, but it never occurred to me to see when it was created. (See image Below)

Mine is 6/02/1994 - So, what's the oldest database you have running on your server? Post your replies and lets see who has the oldest file still in production today!

    A customer I lost track of (but recently reacquired) is still using a CRM database I built in R1.1 back c. 1990. Next time I'm on-site I'll check the date. Unfortunately they are now in the process of moving to MS CRM

    Iris original discussion db from R1.0 or beta of it would be THE oldest, and still in usage today.
    Personally I have files going back since I got involved back in 93.
