I wanted to clarify why the date was so strange...
When Apple restores configurations on Macs at the factory, they
typically use Apple Software Restore, the same software which is
installed on the Restore CD which comes with every Mac. Well at least if
they don't, using ASR has the same issue...
When formatting using ASR before a restore, it restores the creation
date of the original image... meaning your drive's creation date becomes
whatever the image holds... I don't know why that date is set to 1995,
but that's why all your macs have similar dates.
