** Save the Countdown Applet **

After seeing many, many (more than I care to discuss) small Java applets counting down the seconds to the Year 2000, I started thinking. What will be the fate of these applets starting 01/01/2000?  It was apparent to me that all of the many flavors of Countdown Java Applets will have no purpose in life.  Even worse, I realized that there will be a lot of webmasters scrambling to fill up that little bit of space occupied by their millennium countdown applet.

This page is an effort to "Save the Countdown Applet".  If you have a current countdown applet please make sure you don't just throw it away on Jan 1, 2000. Please, please give it another chance to inform and entertain the surfers of the web. There are many other significant dates that they count down too.  Below is my collection of dates for these applets.

Remember, it's up to you to make sure that Countdown Applets do not lose their rightful places on the web pages of the world!!
