Yes!
Already noted...

HA! Indeed

To quote the article :

I don't suppose there'll be many HP Calculator collectors in 3030 -- maybe HP Calculator archaeologists Or maybe they'll all be digitized and uploaded into holographic memory, if you've read Arthur C. Clarke's "3001 : The Final Odyssey" ( Don't worry about spoilers if you haven't read the book )

Are we not drawn onward to new era?

cheers

I'll bear that in mind on 2021-12-02.

BTW, Portuguese, Spanish and Catalan have a special word for a palindromic number: capicua (in Spanish spelled capicúa), from Catalan “cap i cua” (head and tail). I only learned that word today, after hearing it on TV. Live and learn...

I'll bear it in mind nearly 10 months earlier than you on 12/02/2021

Yesterday's date palindrome was special because it was valid in any date setting DMY MDY YMD

And also upside down! :)

A bit late now, but interesting nonetheless:
