Hi Darrell, just to get in on the act, doesn't everything in life
timewise start at absolute zero?  A first birthday is celebrated twelve
months after birth.  I respect that the beginnings start at a predeter-
mined point in time, but if you want to be that pedantic then a persons
age should start from conception.  Yes? No?  I think the commercial
world has got it right from the perspective of sounding correct at
2000!  2001 sounds wrong, don't you agree?  And when all is said and
done, does it really matter?

Have a great Christmas and new Millennium to all.

Cheers from Brian in Tassie
