> I don’t think there’s a real disagreement here. A lot of IT workers did a lot of overtime, and also the truly apocalyptic predictions were ridiculous and never going to happen This pretty much sums it up. Where I worked, we started fixing newer versions of our software products in the early 90's. I also contracted at a large business partner ERP company to build tools to fix earlier versions of their software, that was in 1996 (because many customers couldn't upgrade their ERP's to the fixed version by Y2K, so needed a temp in-place fix).
