Precisely.
NT4 Server is 9/9/99
Hub (not that it really matters) 9/9/2000
Linux Laptop 9/9/1999
Linux server 9/9/2000

try all systems at these dates
9/9/1999 (in progress, duh...)
12/31/99 and let it rollover to 1/1/2000
3/29/2000 (leapyear)
Shit there was one other date we did testing on at my old work, and I'll be
damned if I can remember it right now. I've got a head full load testing
software.
Peace,

One scary point though. NYC & Pretty much any large city hs about three days of
food in reserve, and even less of there is no refrigeration..
Luckily that shit isn't going to happen save a worst case sccenario. However
what concerns me is the reaction of a bunch of inebriated partiers if the power
goes out even for a few minutes.. The possibility of lotsa people losing their
cool *real* fast bugs me more than anything else.
Peace (Hopefully),
