And a lot of Christians believe that we're already at the year 2004, or
that the new millenium starts at 2001.  Should we bow to them?  To me, the
current date is not a religious thing... Unix itself is based on this type
of calendar.  Besides, a few billion seconds from the epoch doesn't sound
nearly as cool.
