To: myknowledge
Y2K was the greatest hoax/faux jobs program ever created. I remember going outside to smoke in the 1990's and seeing the computer nerds out there and they were all talking about how dangerous Y2K was. Bull shirt. It wasn't even close. And when the whole world realized they'd been taken by a bunch of propeller heads the dot com markets tanked and the technology revolution paused and then crashed.

Two years of down markets and devaluations. The real crash wasn't even scheduled yet. That came in 2007 and 2008. The dot com was a computer nerd setback only.

Your ignorance is truly impressive. It was only because of the enormous effort thousands of programmers (myself included) reviewing millions of lines of computer code (no Groanup, computers to not run by magic) that system crashes were prevented. It had nothing to do with dot.com.
