[QUOTE="nlester, post: 293584, member: 8483"] Normally the wife and I use to square dance the new year in but for New Year's Eve 1999/2000 the company setup cots at work and scedule us to work 24/7 incase of computer problems with the new century. Across the US a few hundred of us were setting at our computer terminals when 2000 rang in. About an hour later, they sent most of us home. I got to stay for an other 12 hours but other than a couple of minor issues, it was anti-climatic. I have always argued that the year 2000 was the last year of the 1900s and 2001 was the first year of the new century. The calendar starts with 1 A.D. and there is no 0 A.D. It's like 2013 was suppose to be the end of the world on the Myan calendar when all that happened is that they ran out of room on the rock that held their calendar. [/QUOTE]
