Hey, Y2K computer systems remediation gave me a good job for a couple of years. And in fairness, there *was* a problem—although not to the apocalyptic extent North and his ilk predicted. Systems that had to do arithmetic or sorting on dates where the years were stored as two digits might’ve been glitchy and had some weird results, and there would have been inconvenience, but I seriously doubt a doomsday scenario was ever even close to possible.
As it was, most companies I knew about already had their Y2K situations handled well in advance. One large financial company I contracted with was done by the beginning of 1998; the company I worked for when 2000 rolled around was taken care of by the end of first quarter 1999.

Thanks for reminding those with selective memories.
