@Jman - My brother got a years work and travel all over the province doing Y2K fixes, so I know exactly where you're coming from. I'm not implying Y2K wasn't a real problem, it was. But the media and people over-reacted. People were stocking up on food and rations and crap because of Y2K. Famously the media harped on 'it'll cost XX billions!!' - true, but, that's XX billions divided by XXX hundreds of thousands of businesses and government offices so for each it was an inconvienent but affordable fix and not sort of 'OMG where is that money going to come from??' thing the media played it to be.
It was kinda like saying, OMG if XXX millions of people don't adjust there clocks back an hour they'll be mass confusion and choas!! Well, yes, but once we all know to do it, it's not that hard really.
