Dear Charles, I am aware of what the USNO and Greenwich say about the millenium but it is illogical to say that a decade begins at 00, 10, 20, 30 etc. and then to say that the millenium begins at 2001. It reminds me of a kid that I once knew who was convinced that the pronunciation of mountain was mount-ayn. It also reminds me of the creation "scientists" who insist that the earth is only six thousand years old because it says so in the bible. Get with the human race. We are, in the majority, celebrating the New Millennium next year whether you want to or not. The monkey who devised the AD system and ignored the concept of zero just represents a step in our cultural evolution. We now know of zero and negative numbers and even imaginary numbers and thanks to Euler and other great mathematicians we were able to do circuit and network analysis which eventually led to the microprocessor in your computer. Expand your intellectual horizons, learn to conform and be a nice person. Happy New Millenium, Tim Frohlick
