Why won't "1/1/2001" be an "odd day"? And why wasn't "12/30/1998" the last even day? For that matter, why is "11/19/99" the last "odd day" of the millenium (and, for once, we seemingly don't have to argue over the 2000/2001 thing)? Wouldn't 11/21/99 and 11/23/99 and 11/25/99 and 11/27/99 and 11/29/99 qualify? What am I missing? Marc msmall@roanoke.infi.net FAX: +540/343-7315 Cha robh bas fir gun ghras fir!
