I didn't notice any problem. In fact, not only did my microwave oven continue to function but my watch also successfully changed the date to 1/1/2000 without blowing up my wrist.......
Even my stupid alarm clock went off without a hitch........bummer!
Thanks to Y2K testing, we learned that a certain municipal fueling station (for police & fire vehicles) would have failed on 1/1/2000, and we contacted the manufacturer of the pumps and auditing systems for an update.
In the simulation, the pumps simply stopped working.

You guys didn't notice the problem because thousands of programmers like me took care of it, thank you very much. I was part of the generation that created the "problem" in the first place (out of necessity) and we were also the ones to solve it. So yes, there was a Y2K problem, just like there were WMDs in Iraq.
