Hi all,

Remember the millennium? Forget it. Why celebrate 1,000 when you can
celebrate a billion, asks BBC News Online technology correspondent Mark Ward
Humans don't have much reason to celebrate reaching the age of 31 years,
nine months, nine days and a few hours. But Unix does. It's about to
celebrate its one billionth second.
