.... and - they’ve got you stampeding/’heading for the exits’ like there was no tomorrow.
I’ll bet you bought into the Y2K hype too.
I saw some people who went crazy about it and got burned.
In the DOD, we did a huge amount of work to make sure it would not happen. All mandated from high up.
How much of that work actually prevented anything is impossible to know.
You call it "hype" because you never saw it happen.
I made some good money working long hours in the late 90s fixing systems to keep the Y2K disaster from happening. On the whole, we were tremendously successful.
...and now you dismiss it as mere "hype". That's because we prevented it from occurring.
To quote Mark Levin, "THANK ME!"
I’ll bet you bought into the Y2K hype too.Hype? Do you have a degree in computer science or a tech certification? If so, we can debate - if not you are astonishingly ignorant. As others have said already, I too worked for several years mitigating the Y2K threat which was very real and had it not been for armies of techs like myself in the late 90s it would have been a disaster. The computer companies and remediation firms that paid to fix it beforehand did not waste hundreds of millions on "hype".
