	Ya know, I don't think that matters one bit.  The last digit
turned over; it's a decade.  When it turns from 1999 to 2000 it'll be a
millenium; ask *anybody*.  Since the starting point for measurement
was pretty arbitrary anyway (based on a social event and not a natural
one), I think we can ignore these details safely. 

	Oh.. why 366, and not 365? 1990's not a leap year.
