Re: [LM_NET] What's today called?

[Dan Robinson <drobinson@HWWILSON.COM>]

It's not a palindrome, since you can't reverse the numbers and have the
sequence: 05-05-05   50-50-50.

From the site <http://mathworld.wolfram.com/PalindromicNumber.html>
(below, too): "A palindromic number is a number (in some base b) that is
the same when written forwards or backwards..."
