Y2K was a serious problem...

I think they have another one saying that Christ will rise again on December 25th 2012.

Also, I believe programmers handled Y2K by mid 1999.

Preparations started in 1995.

Funny and true.

Because most computers made in the 20th century only went up to December 31st, 1999?

The computers that weren't Y2K compliant rolled the date to January 1st, 1900.

The major concern was that computers that controlled nuclear weapons would malfunction and launch.
