frustrating really, humanity does not even agree on counting.

If you cut a straight cake, the first cut gives you the first piece
If the cake is round, only the second cut gives you the first piece
Now: do you count cuts or pieces?

We are born at age 0.

If we count on fingers, the first is one.
Digital counting starts at zero.
Digitus means finger.  %-(

For me, the millenium changes when all the 9s turn 0s.
But if someone wants me to play for the new millenium at the end of 
2000, I will.
