Ah, yes. Y2K. Brings back a few memories.
I recall a friend of mine who worked in IT telling me in mid 1998 that the whole upcoming Y2K thing was going to be a big non event.
And, he was right, at least for here in Australia.
But, I do remember a rather "enterprising" person who was trying to sell Y2K insurance for all of your household appliances (computers and anything with a digital clock, VCR's, microwave ovens, etc.) in the last half of 1999. They even advertised in the TV magazine that came with our weekly Sunday Times newspaper in Perth.
Don't know if anyone bought this "insurance" but I wouldn't have been surprised if there were a few suckers.
Biting the hand that feeds IT
