“I was in the IT field then over two companies and I made darn sure that everything we had and all our vendors were y2k compliant...and so did every IT pro around the world. WE stopped Y2K.”

Us code guys had a little something to do with it, too.

So few realize Y2K was real.

Millions of manhours prevented catastrophe.

I spent months building 747 maintenance software for Lufthansa from 1998 though Dec 1999. Lots of time on the ground in Frankfurt am Main. Lufthansa was Y2K ready and I spent the New Year's Eve in the dispatch center of the San Diego Sheriff's Dept with my wife as she worked her shift. It was a quiet transition through midnight.
