I don't know about anybody else, but I played Zelda 64 all night. Stopped for a few minutes to listen to Neil Diamond begin the countdown too early, then went right back to playing! Oh, and I also kept reloading ticalc.org late last night just to see if there was anything new (same as every night!).

Well, mine was at first. THen I hooked it up to my local ATM machine to get money from someone else's card, and it decided (the ATM) that my "server" wasn't Y2K compliant, and fried it... BOO HOO! No more free money ;)

I brought my 89 to my party to check Y2K with CLOCK. It was fine, besides there is no real clock chip in any TI-Calc (Yet? Hint, hint TI!)

Class of 2001...the FIRST!

I'm a junior in high school this year...and I'm soooo tired of the class one year ahead always getting all the attention. The class of 2001 is the first....sorry Y2K grads, but it's true. Of course, I give them credit for the odometer factor, but sorry...we are the class of the new millennium!

Sucks for us the most.. Class of 2002. We just missed it, and we get nothing cool out of the deal. Except for a palindrome year. That's not cool at all. '99, '00, and '01 are the nifty ones...

Actually, being a palindrome year is cool, or at least something with bragging rights. The class of 2003 has _Nothing_ special. Sucks for them the most, not us (I am in the class of 2002).
The other thing cool about 2001 is (Duh) 2001... A Space Odessy.

If nothing else, 2003 is a prime number.

Well you get to hear from the class of 2000! I'm gonna cause mass controversy (as if I haven't seen it already) and say that 2000 is the new millennium because I count zero-based (being a programmer, every thing starts off with "0") And further more we really don't know when the hell the new millennium started. I've read reports saying it started in 1996. How long do you think that our calender system is gonna last w/o it being twisted and contorted?

2001 (my graduating year) is a prime number as well. I guess we should all weep for the 2004 grads now...gawd...

Actually, 2001 is not prime. 2001 = 3*23*29.

Yeah, our class (Y2K) gets to be the last class of the old millennium. It's the class of 1999 that i feels sorry for; they thought they were the class of something important, but they're not.

the class of '99 is not cool at all. They put "The Last Class Of THe Millennium" on their yearbook, and it just hurts inside to think of the idiocy. I tried to convince our yearbook director that we should put "The Actual Last Class Of The Millenium" on our yearbook. She was appalled. Damn people.

Our school year book for last year (1998-99) was titled "The End of the Millennium...The Beginning of Our Future". Boy, were those guys a little off. They're two years behind. Oh well. School authorities are stupid anyway.

I like that idea---it's just too funny. =)

Goodness, though, at least 1999 sounds kinda cool, even if (everywhere in Austin, TX, anyway), the class of 1999 was a crappy class. (Course, the class of 2000 is crap too--class of 1998 was the last good group we really had)
