(I assure you I'm not picking on you or your answer!) I seem to remember the article which I unfortunately cannot conjure up right now demolished java.util.Calendar as well (again, as in "wrong", not as in "difficult to use"). I'm pretty confident of this because I never used Java 1.x at work, and when I read the article it was relevant to my day job. Alas, memory fails me.
