It's a new low, and that's saying something.

Here's a very common example for me, using rsync to copy files to a
Windows machine does not preserve the date and time. In fact, often
making network copies does not preserve the date and time.

Also, from reading more of the OP's posts, it seemed like he was
actually getting something like an NSImage glob of data than an actual
file.
