Im convinced that it really would have been a catastrophe had we done nothing.
Although I never foresaw missile launches and plane crashes, we did a GREAT job preparing, debugging, and rewriting. We did so well that people make fun of the big Y2K dud to this day.

For me, the funniest thing about Y2k was going to Costco after the first of the year. The returns line was ridiculously long. People were returning everything from power generators to peanut butter and potato chips. It was comical. If we had had smart phones back in the day I’d have taken a picture of it. :)

Then we found out that the server needed the latest operating system to run the database. Then we found out the server had to be upgraded to run the latest OS. Fun times. The struggle was real!
