RE: Compute Date Duration

>> How do you know there was no year 0 ?

Because time is a referential and not an absolute value.  For example,
if you use BC and AD you are referencing time against the (supposed)
birth of Christ, 1AD being his first year of life and not his age.  The
measurement of time in this way actually goes from 1BC to 1AD.

By the same token, the year 2000 is actually (as Simon points out) the
end of the 20th century and not the start of the 21st.
