Would probably have better luck with that. You can even read the exif data to
get the date using some of the other ImageMagick tools.

I used to be interested in Windows NT, but the more I see of it the more it
looks like traditional Windows with a stabler kernel. I don't find anything
technically interesting there. In my opinion MS is a lot better at making money
