Yes, and you can thank an army of computer programmers working on it for a decade for it being nothing.

I was also one of them. I spent years in Y2k remediation projects. The group I was involved with had everything handled by mid 99 but most of us had to spend NYE 1999 in the computer room. There were couple of minor systems that blipped and needed restarted but all the important stuff flipped over and kept on trucking.

When I started hearing "it was all just hype" from clueless morons, I wanted to start bashing some heads.

I don’t get quite so physical in my fantasies, but I feel pretty much the same. I do take it more seriously, however, in that they are actually proving their debate opponent’s point when they bring up Y2K to support their argument. i.e. it proves that sometimes you DO need to do something to avoid a catastrophy.
