That's what almanacs are for. :)
Or calendar software. I don't mess with the system date to do those things. (In all practicality, I tend to use the calendar on my Palm Pilot. But I also have an almanac within reach of my computer. Not sure why anymore, unless it's for when the internet connection is down....)
Just noticed that the cal command line command and iCal (the GUI calendar program on Mac OS X) start to disagree around the 1752 Gregorian Reformation :) Going backwards that is. Oops...
I guess most people don't need to set alarms or appointments prior to 1753, so it's probably OK :)
