We have plenty of extra segments available, so mind as well plan for the future.

The symbol should be "MMD"! (Roman numerals for 2500)

Days display should roll over to 0 after 2500 years and then the indicator lights up for the next 2500 years.

What to show on the display after 1,000,000 days until we get next version of LCD with indicator?

"LLLLLLLLLLLL"?
"888888888888"?

"tOO LonG"?
"GamE OVER"?

Currently will show 999999 blinking, but I am partial to GamE OVER except that the `m' looks crappy.
