I am really getting tired of this “Y2K” no big deal. We worked day and night before the roll over to make sure our systems located in hospitals did not crash. We had run the date forward in the labs, and the system crashed. A lot of people worked a lot of hours so smart guys can spout off, not knowing how close they dodged a bullet.
Same here... Back then, I actually was working in the process control field in a chemical plant. I was the Y2K Project Coodinator. We worked dilegently for more than a year, spent more than $1MM upgrading systems, and re-writing code to avoid problems that WERE REAL.... before we fixed them.
I spent that entire night and day watching the time zones change... and, we PARTIED heartily, the next day. :-)
