The millinium does technically begin on Jan 1, 2001 because there is no year 
0.  On the other hand if you celebrated a new decade in 1990, then it would 
start in 2000.  2000 does look like more of a significant change than 
2000-2001, and of course no one alive was around in year 0 anyway.
    In addition, Jesus of Nazarath was not born in year 1 anyway, but at 
least 4 years before that.  (No one knows for sure)  
    So, technically 2000 is Y2K, and 2001 is the new millenium.
