Comment My plan of 2000 (Score 2) 241
A lot of the books were garbage and put out scenarios that couldn't actually happen. Microwave ovens showed time but didn't know dates so those couldn't be affected, same with most cars at the time.
Surveys for all vendors asking if they were going to be Y2K compliant.
Product lines with CPU were checked. Many didn't have any time functions, and the ones that did passed.
Every piece of software was checked. One database system was going to roll over to 1980 and the problem was client side and was installed on most machines and the software had no tech support. I looked at the executable and the math for date calculation and modified it to calculate correctly on every client.
About 2001Q3 I got a note there was one client that I didn't know because it was only used once every 5 years on a strange circumstance..
