>>And you are right about the Y2K hoax too.<<

Now there you go again with the conspiracy theories!

Y2K was a typical example of a "limit" problem, of the sort that computer folks run into all the time. It's a finite issue, you know about it well in advance, and you deal with it.

In my shop we had to fix hundreds of legacy programs for Y2K, and then test the system very carefully. It was not a hoax.
