Re: From the Seen That Department of Obvious Idiocy ...
Sure, there were loads of chancers and scaremongers, but also a lot of bloody dodgy code!
Lots of year rollovers to 19100 - not too serious if just presentational, but we (ICL) had a uk wide monitoring system that's pager system would have failed, and alot of other stuff. Not world war 3, or pacemaker reboots, but enough to keep us busy!
FInally, not y2k related directly, but a y2k audit revealed such gems as the c program that contained:
system ("sleep 3");
.. the rest of the code wasn't much better!
Biting the hand that feeds IT
