In that it starts remembering the time again.

I keep old machines around, I'm a "late adopter" of new computer stuff, I like to let them work the bugs out before I decide to buy and learn some new big thing. I used to work in R&D and had all the latest toys, and it's just amazing how much of your time can be wasted trying to work with buggy programs.

But next time you see it, you will know what it is.
