I rented a small house in the mountains from the power company for the 2000 New Years Eve party. It happened to have an office for the local power employees. At about 22:00 the phone in the office rang up and I took the call (I am not sure why, actually - the phone was ringing so I picked it up). It was an older lady calling and she said "there is no power at home, is this this year 2000 issue already?". I told her that this is unlikely and have her the correct number to call (written on the office door). It was all over the news and thanks to the heroic work of IT/IS the world was saved.
