>>I think it makes more sense to celebrate the start of 2000. It's like when your odometer rolls over. You wouldn't get excited about it hitting 100001 miles even if it started at 1.

Well, I didn't say that 2000 was the start of a millennium. I just said it makes more sense to make a big deal out of it. I agree that the 60's went from 60-69. Any 10 year period is a decade. Any 1000 year period is a millennium. That means that every new year starts a new millennium. Since our starting point is arbitrary, there's no significance to any year. However, 2001 is the start of the third millennium since that arbitrary starting point.
