Nobody but God knew the Y2K stuff was BS till it happened.

I did. And I am not God.

It was an obvious case of those who think they know technology versus those who do.

I heard someone I used to respect (Chuck Missler) describing himself as knowing "everything" about electronics and computers and in the same speech claiming that isolated "microchips" would wack out on Y2K....

Microchips that have no REAL TIME CLOCK.

It was obviously a fraud.

Sorry you spent so much on it.

The erroneous views of some laymen about date independent systems negates a tidal wave of concern which welled up over the course of almost a decade IN THE SOFTWARE INDUSTRY ITSELF?

It's because of the army of programmers who were set loose on this issue, that Y2K actually came and went with as little trouble as it did.
