It was a big deal in the world of software in 99. Y2K wasn’t just about the first 2 digits. And there was some alpha nerd going on about all this.
Then of course there’s the occasional leap second that nobody is really sure when they happen, except when we’re told to.
My dad was a prepper back then, you know, just in case. Plus it was his and Mama’s 50th anniversary, so we had a BIG BASH!! Helluva celebration we had that night, that went on well until near daylight. I guess about 4 am it fizzled out. Now that I think about it, that was the after party, cuz the venue where we had the celebration closed by 9 pm. We had rented it out for most of the afternoon and evening. Lotsa fun and I remember there were so many people who knew my parents over that many years. Good times!
