Some issues: does this account for daylight savings time? Will we get a
refund for the remainder of our service and support contracts?

The peculiar part of Ussher's ideas was that the earth would have a
Sabbath's rest, Sabbath being taken from the number seven, and that that
rest would be the millennial kingdom, at the end of which Satan is
loosed for a season (not a thousand years, for those making notes in
their millennium-at-a-glance planners). In addition to the weekly
Sabbath, Judaism required that farm land be allowed to rest every seven
years. This is not a good reason to apply this notion beyond days and
years to millennia any more than it applied to other practical units of
time recognized by the Ancient Near Eastern world (hours, weeks,
months), which is what Ussher did. And the Revelation has the world
ending after the millennial kingdom, so this Sunday would be the first
day of that paradise on earth, and you can expect all subsequent
software patches and releases (which should be arriving FedEx Monday
morning) to fix all known bugs, and have all those features that were
promised in the next release... I will leave it to Wirt to comment on
the implications for QCTerm, but those Sprint dime commercials come to
mind. Suddenly, all my systems ran optimally...

Ussher's calculations (among several other accomplishments) are still
largely respected by scholars who accept the text as historically
accurate; the majority of dissenters reject this historicity. And for
those who care about such things or are playing the home version of
Jeopardy, the 2 Peter 3 reference echoes a Psalm of Moses (Psalm 90:4):
''For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday when it is
past, and as a watch in the night.'' In fact, to confirm this quote, I
decided to try searching for "thousand years" and got almost 7000
thousand documents; I added Psalm, and reduced it to 2459. A lot of
people out their want to say something about this, for those who are
curious.

Finally, as I read Revelation, the great beast may not be as savvy at
grabbing market share as Bill Gates is.
