Hi Chuck ---- if this set is going to be a countdown to the new millenium, better make it 24 chips, as the new millenium (and the new century, as well) both start on January 1, 2001, NOT 2000 (as was aptly noted recently on this board by Gene Trimble).

Popular sentiment notwithstanding, and regardless of the number of poor souls who are going to drink themselves blind, dumb and stupid on New Year's Eve 1999, all we are going to do on January 1, 2000, is have trouble writing the first digit of the year.

Coincidentally, the next century is also the subject of my November ChipBox column on Chequers, which I expect to finish submit to Marty for posting in the next day or two.
