(As an aside, even people on this very forum still say it was a scam, but nearly EVERY single IT person I know, and I was one of them, working for over a year or two in advance, participating in weekly meetings with up to forty people or more, looking at vulnerabilities, identifying them, testing to see if they would fail, and implementing changes in software to remediate it. When it came, so many people had worked on it that it was anti-climax because the world didn't go dark. People who think Y2K was a scam are bald-faced idiots who don't know what they are talking about.)

We worked on the conversion for two and a half years.

And there WAS a danger.

I know...I have to roll my eyes at the “Y2K deniers”...most of them didn’t have to sweat out what could happen. I work in a hospital, and we had an old mumps based dumb terminal system, and yeah...it had the two character year field...we tested it and saw what would have happened.

Like you, we sweated it out and slaved on it.
