My fix for y2k was to push it off for 20 years.

There were no dates before 1921 in the data, so the 2 digit year below 21 was treated as 2001-2020 so I have 2 more years before it becomes a problem.

Luckily those computers aren't running any more.

Merry Christmas Everyone.

Hi All,

Y2K was 18 years ago.  Do you remember where you were?  I do. 

I had just gotten off a large Y2K project and my wife and I did some prepping...  Looking back we did not do enough given the potential for catastrophic failure.  

We stayed up all night glued to the TV watching as each time zone passed into Y2K.  As I recall there was two minor issues.  A small power station had some issues... and I do not recall the other one.

I remember there was a lot of speculation because there was so much technology out there that was untested and it was uncertain if it would fail or continue once Y2K was reached.  And in 1999 there was so much less technology than there is today....
