Dear Norman, I thought your message was very entertaining and informative. Thank you. But I've heard that the beginning of the new millenium actually isn't until January 1st, 2001because, theoretically, we would have started our calendars with the year 1 not 0. People are getting all excited a year early. > The hype and nonsense around January 1st, 2000 AD is a bit daft as the first > day of the new millennium is completely arbitrary.
