Many things worked fine despite that (some software/hardware was already Y2K compliant even in the eighties); many people thought many more things would be problems, even stuff that does not deal with the date at all, but of course that doesn't make sense. Some things did cause minor problems, mainly display errors with the date (sometimes causing columns to not line up properly, but sometimes less severe than that). Some things would cause more problems, but perhaps they were already fixed, or fixed soon afterward; I don't know much about it.
