Buck, I would tend to agree. Unfortunately some of our department representatives bought into this urban legend and insisted we test this date as part of our functional area tests. Nothing ever failed, obviously, for the reasons you stated. I hope the paranoid ones out there don't work themselves into too much of a frenzy over this date.

I have never seen any place use 09/09/99 as a special value. On the other hand, I have seen lots of 99/99/99 and 00/00/00 used for special purposes... Some Y2K folks have been warning about this, but I suspect it to be an urban legend.
