i remember a different, "real world" date... (Score 1)

i was in 4th grade. principal comes on the intercom: "please note that in about 2 minutes it will be 1:23 and 45 seconds. because it's june 7th, 1989, at that time it will be 1:23:45, 6/7/89". kinda cool (even though they fudged it and it should have been 1 a.m., not 1 p.m. (1300 hours)), and neat that the told us about a significant "nerd" event.
