Ok a lot of people are very confused here.

Doesn't matter when anyone was born or died or whatever. There is NO YEAR ZERO! So that way you've got the unfortunate side effect of Demarkation not changing when significant digits do.

I think a lot of people have millenium burn out. I heard a comercial on the radio in wich they say (I swear), "now at the end of the new millenium."

I don't understand why in programming classes people had trouble with the 0th element of an array, but now they are counting like they are programmers. Oh well...
