Regardless of what year is concerned, this sounds like another chance for someon e to make money off of our work for free. Sounds like the new millennium is goin g to be a lot like the old millennium.

Regarding the Millennium: there are two (2) versions: 1. The 'Celebration' Millennium happens on January 1, 2000. 2. The 'Academic' Millennium happens on January 1, 2001.

But I don't think a year early is too soon to ask for entries in a Millennium ph oto-documentation. Gives us more time to plan, right?
