I believe it's 2001, although that seems to be the minority >position. 2001. Much of the "millennium" furor is driven by economics (parties, hotel reservations, resorts, cruises, etc.). It will be interesting to see how many of the promoters, having made their money on the 1999-2000 change, will suddenly discover their error (maybe about March or April) and schedule another celebration for the 2000-2001 change.
