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!!
