New calendar could revolutionize the way we live

For me personally, I am happy with the existing calendar and don't see it as a problem. What I would like to see changed is Daylight Savings Time by getting rid of it...what a PITA twice a year! That's just my 2 cents.

If you like your calendar you can keep your calendar....
Yeah, remember how the world was going to end 1 second after midnight Dec. 31st, 1999 with all the Y2K panic?

Yeah, I remember spending that New Years Eve sitting in a server room, with two other people, watching nothing happen and management had us stay until 3AM. It wasn't like we hadn't already tested all the servers, offline, by rolling their calendars over weeks ahead of time. There was some "magic" that would cause it to only happen when the planets were aligned just so, I guess.

Yes, but we fixed it so it didn't happen. Much.
But it would have done if we hadn't.
On a similar note, it's only been 20 years...let's debate this to death:
"The 21st century did not begin until 1 second after midnight Dec. 31st, 2000...not 1999."
"The 21st century did not begin until 1 second after midnight Dec. 31st, 2000...not 1999."
It's true, 'cuz as Seinfeld famously said, "there was no year zero."
They say that Year One could be revolutionary though,
