Maybe there was no Y2K disaster because people where pooring over code and fixing them before they happened?
Funny thing is most european countries didnt do squat to fix any code and yet everything went smoothly here. There is no correlation between the amount of money and time spent fixing the code that would destroy civilisation as we knew it, and the amount of errors that actually occurred. There were hardly ANY errors.
A lot of tech-companies made a lot of money fixing these errors tho. They were also the ones most actively spreading the idea that all hell would break loose when we went from 1999 to 2000. Who would`ve thunk that eh.
