- Excuse me, m'lord, but, while this is a great idea, I'm afraid I must
- risk igniting yet another flame war by calling your attention to a most
- common mistake you appear to be making here.
-
- The last day of the current millenium is, as all should know, the same as
- the last day of the twentieth century - December 31, 2000. The first day
- of the next century and the next millenium is January 1, 2001. 'Tis but
- a simple matter of counting years on the calendar.
-
- Of course, in another view, every day is the first day of a new
- millenium! :-)
-
- But don't let me spoil any parties - I'll probably celebrate
- the year 2000 as well as the new millenium. (Any excuse for
- a party!)
