As someone who was actually around in the industry and saw the massive efforts that were made to successfully fix things, it shits me to tears when people talk about the Millenium Bug as some kind of crying-wolf moment. I saw some of the awful bugs that were fixed first hand. I have no reason to doubt that my experience wasn't replicated in important "legacy systems" right across the industry. Things only passed so smoothly because of that effort.
