Yep. With my GPS products, I didn’t notice so much as a blip. Of course Garmin doesn’t want service to drop for 40 kazillion of their customers. Govt., on the other hand, can’t get out of its own way. In an effort to DO SOMETHING, govt. usually does the wrong “something” and makes the problem worse.
I remember during the whole Y2K thing. I was in college and I had a good friend that worked IT. For the Unix computers in the College of Engineering, the only thing that needed fixing was a single line of code in the operating system. I was running Windows 98 and it never had a problem (probably received the right patch program(s) a year in advance). Govt. on the other hand was putting out these public “service” announcements that contributed to the outright stupid rumors running rampant. I don’t know how anybody could think that washing machines, microwave ovens, and other things that had absolutely no date function whatsoever were suddenly going to go wild. There’s a weird segment of the population that wants that to happen.
