Bah, I don't get you people.

We work for years to get people to accept counting from 0, and when
they finally do, we tell them they're wrong because some priests and
sheep worriers from the middle ages who'd probably never even *seen*
a computer thought otherwise? Ha. Ha I say!

It's time to correct the mistakes of the past, and retroactively start
numbering our years from 0.

Cheers,
aj

       was that, lacking zero, they had no way to indicate 
           successful termination of their C programs.''
