Re: [newbie] New Millenium
Sad to say that the counter argument is as follows: at the time the gregorian calandar was greated, the concept of a year zero or of the value zero as a number did not exist. Therefore even though there was no year zero in the first millenium, the second millenium still began with the year 1000, and the first millenium had only 999 years. A truely convoluted argument, but not entirely without merrit. Personally I do not see what difference it makes, one year in 1000 is one tenth of one percent of the whole. We expect greater variations in value from nearly every device created by man. For example a resistor for a circuit board is normally plus or minus ten percent of the rated resistance as indicated on the package. The specifications for the average automobile engine around 1968 was plus or minus three tenths of one percent (or +/- .003). My only point here is if we can tolerate such variances in our every day lives, why not with whether or not this is the third millenium.

Re: [Re: [newbie] New Millenium]
I have about 5 computers running here from Pentium and above all
seemed to roll the date over fine. I have installed on Y2K fixes
on any of them because I wanted to see first if there was a
problem before I fixed them.

Re: [newbie] New Millenium
We have never lost any years, we (the proverbial we) did in-fact delete about 14 days in the 1500's off of the calendar to make everything add up. Although the Y2K problem is not based on the millenium, it is based on two digit code. And although we would like to think we have beat it, the fact remains that there are about 20 some more dates in the Y2K scenario left between now and 2100, they are as follows (X indicates completion): X January 1, 1999 - to ensure that the digits "99" do not trigger a red flag result in erroneous branching, or otherwise cause a processing error or that "time error" faults occur X FY2000 for business and industry - Depending on the business the FY could start on March 1, 1999, July 1, 1999 or match the government fiscal year of October 1, 1999. X August 22, 1999 - Overflow of 'end of week' rollovers (e.g. GPS). X September 9, 1999 (9/9/99 or possibly ) - to ensure the digits "99" or "" do not trigger a red flag, result in erroneous branching, or otherwise cause a processing error X October 1, 1999 - First day of Fiscal Year 2000 X January O, 2000 - - to ensure this date is NOT processed (some applications do have this problem and count January O as the day before the 1st) X January 1, 2000 - key date in any compliance testing - January 3, 2000 - first full work day in the new year - January 10, 2000 - first 9 character data in /MM/DD format (2000/l/10) - February 28, 2000 - to ensure the leap year is being properly accounted for - February 29, 2000 - to ensure the leap year is being properly accounted for - February 30, 2000 - to ensure that this date is NOT processed - February 31, 2000 - to ensure that this date is NOT processed - March 1, 2000 - to ensure date calculations have taken leap year into account - October 10, 2000 - first 10 character date - December 31, 2000 - 366th day of the year - January 1, 2001 - First day in the 21st Century - January 1, 2001 - Overflow for Tandem systems - After January 1, 2002 - to ensure no processing errors occur in backward calculations and processing of dates in the 1980's and 1990's at this point in time - February 29, 2001 - to ensure that this date is NOT processed as a leap year - February 29, 2004 - to ensure that this date is processed as a leap year - January 1, 2010 - Overflow ANSI C Library - January 1, 2011 - to ensure the digits "" do not trigger a red flag, result in erroneous branching, or otherwise cause a processing error - November 11, 2011 - to ensure the digits "11" do not trigger a red flag, result in erroneous branching, or otherwise cause a processing error - September 30, 2034 - Overflow of UNIX time function - January 1, 2037 - Rollover date for NTP systems - January 19, 2038 - Overflow of UNIX systems - September 18, 2042 - Overflow of IBM System/360 - January 1, 2072 - Overflow of Milstar Operating System - February 28, 2100 - last day of February, ensure that this date is NOT processed as a leap year More food for thought...

RE: [newbie] New Millenium
Actually millenium has already started. According to the Gospels Jesus was born during the reign of King Herod, well .. Herod died 4C. In that case millenium, and accounting to the fact zero concept was not known in Europe when they started Christian Calendar, began 3 years ago. Also birth of Christ was marked by star thought to be Halleys Comet which appeared 12BC would make this coming year 2011. So boys and girls millenium in fact is well into its way.:) Regards Eero On Sat, 01 Jan 2000, you wrote: Yeah, I love these people. -Original Message- From: Lyndon Lininger Sr. [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Friday, December 31, 1999 10:28 AM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: Re: [newbie] New Millenium Warren Doney wrote: 00.32 01/01/00 NZDT Happy new Millenium all... -- Full plate packing steel! - Minsk The new millenium isn't for another year.
