Archaeologists just recently discovered an amazing ancient manuscript.

You'd never believe what it revealed:

(Translated from a Latin scroll dated 2BC)

Dear Cassius:
        Are you still working on the Y zero K problem?  This change from
 BC to AD is giving us a lot of headaches and we haven't much time left.
I don't know how people will cope with working the wrong way around.
Having been  working happily downwards forever, now we have to start
 thinking upwards.
         You would think that someone would have thought of it earlier
 and not left it to us to sort out at this last minute. I spoke to Caesar the
 other evening. He was livid that Julius hadn't done something about it
 when he was sorting out the calendar. He said he could see why Brutus
turned nasty. We called in Consultius, but he simply said that continuing
downwards using minus BC won't work and as usual
charged a fortune for doing nothing useful. Surely we will not have to
throw out all our hardware and start again?
        Macrohard will make yet another fortune out of this I suppose.
The money lenders are paranoid of course! They have been told that all
usery rates will invert and they will have to pay their clients to take
out loans. It's an ill wind......
         As for myself, I just can't see the sand in an hourglass flowing
upwards.  We have heard that there are three wise men in the east who
have been working on the problem, but unfortunately they won't arrive
until it's all over.
         I have heard that there are plans to stable all horses at
midnight at the turn of the year as there are fears that they will stop
and try to run backwards, causing immense damage to chariots and possible
loss of life. Some say the world will cease to exist at the moment of
transition.  Anyway, we are still continuing to work on this blasted Y zero K
problem.
I will send a parchment to you if anything further develops.

If you have any ideas please let me know,

Plutoniu
