I remember watching the countdown. Then, nothing happened except the little clock down in the R/H corner read 12:00:00. Then 12:00:01 and that was it. What a joke it was on all. SMH.
I wasn’t overly worried. I didn’t even stay up to what did or didn’t happen. I did fill the bathtub and a bunch of empty bottles with water , though. You know….just in case.
Why does everyone think the Y2K problem was a hoax? It was a real problem, and it was fixed in advance on nearly every computer on the planet. A very real crisis was averted.

At least we were able to push it up to December 31 at midnight.

The computer problem with year 2000 had it’s roots before Microsoft left the garage (or where ever it was born).

Thanks a heap for the try, Mr. Opus. Luckily, most of the world was too smart for Microsquash….
