as others have pointed out the exactly date (8/23) and time (12:03:06)
correspond to the zero point of the internal clock. A little trivia bit:

the most significant bit of the clock count is presently a zero. Guess
when it becomes a one:   at the end of the day 12/31/99 when
we roll into the next millennium.
