AMAZING NEWS ABOUT THE YEAR
2000
(and beyond)!
Last update: 6/16/97
Waiting for the 21st Century to begin? It might not be
here as soon as you think:
A century consists of 100 consecutive calendar years.
The 1st century consisted of the years 1 through 100.
The 20th century consists of the years 1901 through
2000 and will end Dec. 31, 2000. The 21st century will
begin Jan 1, 2001.

Oh, and by the way, you might want to fix all of your computer programs.
