Heh, on my notebook I was able to find traces of original 3.x install:

sobomax at notebook$ LANG=C ls -l /var/ | grep 199
drwxr-xr-x   2 root    wheel    512 Aug 16  1999 account/
drwxr-xr-x   4 root    wheel    512 Aug 16  1999 at/
drwxr-x---   3 root    wheel    512 Aug 16  1999 cron/
drwxr-xr-x   2 daemon  wheel    512 Aug 16  1999 msgs/
drwxr-xr-x   2 root    wheel    512 Aug 16  1999 preserve/
drwxrwxr-x   2 root    daemon   512 Aug 16  1999 rwho/

I have lost count of how many notebooks I have changed since that time.
