On January 1st 1901 the 'New York Times' announced new century, if a new century was to start on Jan. 1st of 2000, our century would have only 99 years. Same thing applies to millennium. I guess this misunderstanding is closely related to Y2K computer issue. But its only my 0.2$...

*sigh* ..they had the ceremony a year early, as the century will end Dec.
31st, 2000.
Of course if they're just talking about the last 100 years..that's cool
then. =v]

(sorry, but the fact that everyone in the media continues to cling to this
'2000 = new century/millennium' junk just astounds me)

Some of you may be wondering which car won the much-touted
Car Of The Century award. It was announced at a big ceremony in
Las Vegas last night -- and, unfortunately, it wasn't the
Volkswagen Beetle.

Still, Volkswagen managed to shine with two significant awards.

See which car is Car Of The Century (I don't agree with the final
pick). Full story and photos are up in Bug News:
