Great Post Based on my 20+ years experience with computers and software development, it is impossible to catch every Y2K bug before it it happens. There are stories about some eastern State issuing automobile license plate with year 1900 stuff even after intensive testing. However, that's about it. No disaster as we are already seeing. It's not a big deal to debug the problems when it happens. However, for chips with embedded systems, that's another story. All the chips, maybe along with the device that embeds them, have to be thrown away. (do you want to repair the chips?) If there are millions, even billions of chips out there, counting the "baby with the water", that means big business for the chip industry. We shall see.
