The occasion was a non-event. I have since wondered how bad it would have been had not so much money been spent fixing the bug. Would the grid have crashed, banks lose track of account info, retail stores be unable to sell food, traffic signals go haywire, etc.? In other words, was it overblown all along, or did huge efforts avoid a disaster. I tend towards a middle ground, that some bad things would have happened, but it would not have been as big a disaster as was being portrayed. Sounds like you know whereof you speak.
My posts #38 and #48 describe quite well what happened.
