------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Aug 16 14:50:04 +0000 2008 ------- erack: 'Funny guy'? I am glad I was able to amuse you. What about the inventor of the zero? He must have been a 'funny guy' too. (Who needs something to represent nothing?) People who design digital clocks are also funny: One second after 7:59:59, the time is 8:00:00, not 8:01:01. And, if the clock works on the 24-h system, it shows 0:00:00, not 1:01:01, at midnight; funny... Pope Gregory XIII was a 'serious' guy: He started his calendar with year 1. Had he been a 'funny guy', he would have started with year 0, and we would have celebrated the year 2000 2000 (not 1999) years later; also, someone born in 10BC would have been 30 (not 29) in 20AD. After years of Modula-2 programming, I do know that array indices are easier to manipulate when they start at 0, and that would likely apply to arrays used in spreadsheet software. Calc code would become smaller and faster, even for users who don't care about a row 0. OK, Excel rows start at 1. So, what? Must OO be as short-sighted as MS? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
