On the 2nd of June 1997, I booted my test/development server, which I have
kept running ever since:

  $71 = 7305.0

June 1997 is when the kernel library started to become useful.  As you can
see, it lost a fair bit of uptime along the way, being an experimental
server which had to revert to older snapshots a number of times.  Still,
many of the objects in there date back to 1997.
