Many good replies concerning the end of civilization, but with all due respect I think it will probably end as depicted in the following video.

I would like to add my voice to the others that have stated that the Y2K event was not as destructive as feared, only because it was taken seriously, and that thousands of man hours and billions of dollars were spent re-mediating systems in advance of its occurrence. It really steams me when no-nothings call it a hoax, or ridicule the herculean effort which prevented major disruptions.

Hey newb, all those who did prepare are prepared now, when things look like they may really get bad. Ya think we weren’ thinking about that when we prepared?

I knew Y2K was silly when I got my first driver’s license with an expiration after 2000. I figured if the DMV had managed to figure it out so had everybody else. Actually won an argument about Y2K by throwing my license on the table, “see DMV’s OK” turned out to be pretty compelling evidence.
