Yeah... I wondered the same when nothing happened, it seemed like a big deal for nothing.
Then the next day when I opened ACDSee it said my license had expired. It was a pirated license that previously had shown valid until 2050 or something.
All of a sudden it put the whole thing in perspective, and I realized that those things could happen anywhere causing small bugs, and much bigger ones in systems where dates actually mattered.
- 13of40 10y agoI had a PDP-11/74 running RSTS that wouldn't boot after Y2K. I think I had to dig around inside it to reset the clock before it would turn on again. It was an old machine at the time, but I'm pretty sure there were still some like it in the field, so someone was pulling their hair out on January 1st.
