33 images on stickshiftnews.com record Photoshop saves on 2010-08-24, 14:16:41–14:17:50 at UTC-4 (Langley): a 69-second batch. This supports batch asset preparation possibly from ImageReady, and also gives us the exact Photoshop version used and operating system: Adobe Photoshop CS4 (released 2008). They used Windows. That's the real reason the network went down!
