That's right Rande, on 12-31-99 we will have completed 1,999 years A.D.; but "new millenium" sounds so cool you know that we have to celebrate it now in our "we want it now" society.

Yep... Christ was born on Day 1 of Year 1... At the START of Year 1... The Start of AD. The Start of the First Century/Millennium. 1 + 1000 = 1001 1001 + 1000 = 2001, etc. The Start of the 21st Century will be 1-1-2001. Now, we can sell more champagne, have bigger parties, and SELL more goodies! I wonder what the media's excuse will be as we get closer to the Real Start of the next 100/1000 years? I emailed CNBC about this... The Media... Ignored... I did hear them starting to hedge today... But they can't spoil the party THIS year... Happy Y2K! Joe
