Hi, Jeff.
<<I cannot believe it has been 24 hours and not a single reported major problem reported worldwide.
I thought I was so doggone careful in where I sifted Y2 info and cannot believe it turned into such a hoax.
I cannot believe how much time and money was spent.>>
It wasn't a hoax. I can state with absolute certainty that our organization and many others had programs that, left unremediated, would have resulted in inaccurate calculations due to the two digit date field. They failed when we tested them; they would have failed in real life (and they still could).
While no major Y2k-related events surfaced, there are plenty of organizations today looking at their output and seeing some things that are a little odd. Not life threatening, not unmanageable; but things that didn't go quite as expected. I'm dealing with several now. 'Course these types of things pop up every day.
And, of course, it's fabulous news that we all have power, phone, water, ... .
Many have worked for several years at the local, national and international level to cooperate on addressing the common threat of Y2k. My thanks and congratulations to all of them! Things will continue to surface; they do every day.
Happy New Year, Jeff! I've enjoyed your perspective on the thread.
