y2K was not a scam

It was a WELL PREPARED FOR potential catastrophe that WAS AVERTED thanks to all the hype and effort put into finding out the problems

By the heroic efforts of many software engineers (gosh can we ever thank them enough?)

but seriously folks...

I personally worked 80 hour weeks finding and fixing Y2K bugs and know of many systems that would have failed. they were a lot easier to spot than we were worried aboit- reset the date and see what happens- then find and fix.

And we found A LOT.

So all the hype led to a lot of good work to fix it. Because nothig happend people think it was all hype- but it wasn’t by a long shot.

I did not mean to denigrate those fine efforts... but there were many scams... the scams were the crooks that sold and marketed fear and sold it to gullible people that would buy into it... food stocks... generators etc... man there were some scams going on. 200 million people also held their breath when midnight rolled around.
